Julia Chai
Julia Chai is a Northern California-based artist, maker of objects, and an architect of experiences. After receiving her MFA in Ceramics from Cranbrook Academy of Art in 2025, she has explored working within the intersections of design, creative consulting, and community building. Julia is driven by the process of making - not just of objects, but of experiences that spark connection and a sense of place. She enjoys the quiet labor of meaning-making and finds excitement in connecting the dots between disparate ideas. Julia's life and work are an intertwined pursuit; she values the structure of a refined process but leaves room for the unexpected.
