Message In A Dish

Message In A Dish Fusing Qinghua (Blue-and-White, 青花) Art, Theology & Social Innovation. Bespoke Talks & Collaborations for Corporates & Schools Channing Lee since 2016.

The world of , as envisioned by Founder & Designer, Ms. It represents the core essence of her philosophy. Channing's practice converges her passion for food, ceramics and social innovation.

Art doesn't happen in the frame. It happens in the pause between your breath and theirs, when you both stop at the same piece without words.

What did you come to Art Basel searching for, and what found you instead?

24/03/2026

Went to Art Central VIP Preview.
Somehow ended up getting Samantha Ko Hoi Ling to take a photo of me. She was the nicest about it too. Just walked up and asked — zero hesitation from her.

Thank you Ms. Ko! 🙏🏻
(Stay till the end for the post credit scene 🎬)

Some pieces this year really made me stop and sit with them for a while. Art always hits different in person.

| SEE WHAT THE SYSTEM MISSES |

Honoured to be invited by The University of Hong Kong FemSTEM as keynote speaker on March 21, 2026. As a contemporary Qinghua (blue-and-white porcelain) artist, I addressed female students in STEM on how their skillset opens doors far beyond traditional tech careers.

That invitation itself tells a story. When a leading engineering faculty turns to an artist to expand their students' horizons, something has shifted in how institutions understand innovation.

Drawing on the World Economic Forum's 2030 skills, my core message was simple: The future doesn't belong to people only good at technology, nor people only good at dreaming. It belongs to those who can code — and see what the code is missing.

To bridge the gap between high art and high performance, I grounded the session in tactile and philosophical frameworks:
🔹 The Garlic Experiment: A tactile opening to awaken sensory awareness.
🔹 Qinghua (Blue & White): Encoding meaning and layered intentionality that resists reduction.
🔹 Kintsugi: The principle that what has been broken and repaired with care becomes more valuable, not less.

The most rewarding moment? Hearing from the FemSTEM student chairlady:
"As a mechanical engineering student, I think it's really important for us to consider all the people, not just get lost in making the technology better."

This is the work I do — through keynotes, experiential workshops, and long-term institutional collaborations. If your organisation is asking how to cultivate this human-centric capacity and cognitive resilience in your people, I welcome the conversation.

Let's connect.

Why was an artist invited to speak at HKU full of scientists and engineers?

Because the future doesn't belong to people only good at technology, nor people only good at dreaming. It belongs to those who can code — and see what the code is missing.

We live in a world obsessed with upgrading systems, algorithms, and efficiency. But what happens when we get so lost in making the technology better that we forget the humans using it?

My message to these brilliant future engineers was simple: See what the system misses.

I opened with a tactile experiment of peeling garlic. I drew on two frameworks from my ceramic practice — the layered intentionality of Qinghua brushwork, and the Kintsugi principle that what's been broken and repaired with care becomes more valuable, not less.

Afterwards, the student chairlady wrote:
"As a mechanical engineering student I think it's really important for us to consider all the people, not just get lost in making the technology better."

Thank you HKU for having me.

Seeing these analytical minds resonate with an artist’s perspective gives me so much hope for the future they will build.

每一片空白的素坯，都期待著新的可能。

青花，不是普通的藍。是礦物鈷藍，是1280度烈火中的重生，是七百年前元代工匠留下的秘密。在 Message In A Dish，我們教青花繪——更教你與泥土、與文化、與內心最安靜的那個自己對話。

筆已備好。釉料已研開。
就等你來，完成這場藍白之間的修行。

【青花·啟蒙】兩節課，讓初心遇見千年工藝
【青花·恆常】四節深修，在重複中找到自己的節奏

在這裡，或許是你與青花的初見。
也或許，是你等了很久的重逢。

青花，是有門檻的。從景德鎮街旁小店幾千元一隻蓋杯，到拍賣行過千萬的小碗——貴在哪裡？

香港坊間流行的塑膠彩、貼貼紙、低溫釉上彩……這些算不算青花？

見過名門正宗，你才懂得咀嚼和欣賞。

我們一向堅持正統，拒絕坊間化學藍的偽裝。 由 CCTV 專訪藝術家 Channing Lee 親授，傳承景德鎮國家一級畫師的非遺技藝。她將元代的狂放與明代的優雅，煉成獨有的藝術語言。

在 Message In A Dish，你觸碰的是礦物青花 (Mineral Cobalt)，修習的是泥、水與火的煉淨。掌握香港稀有的「分水」與「勾線」技巧。筆鋒流轉間，那一抹歷經七百年依然動人的藍——只留給最靜的心。

( Channing 作品獲米芝蓮三星名廚 Hélène Darroze、Alain Ducasse 及國際藏家收藏，並獲 8½ Otto e Mezzo BOMBANA 委約創作。作品曾展於香港、台灣及英國)
