Free event parking at the 52 Oxford Street Garage, starting at 5pm.

A broken spoon. A burning kiln. A world reborn. In this intimate lecture, jewelry master Wallace Chan reflects on his childhood poverty, the symbolism of porcelain, and the years of trial that led to his invention of the Wallace Chan Porcelain—five times stronger than steel. More than a story of innovation, this is a meditation on silence, failure, memory, and the mysterious alchemy that turns fragility into strength.

A reception will follow in the galleries of the Harvard Museum of Natural History, where the brooch Metamorphosis, created by Chan, is on display.

Presented by the Harvard Museum of Natural History, in collaboration with the Harvard Mineralogical & Geological Museum.
