FURGENCE began with Kerin’s love for furry culture, handcraft, and character expression.

Since her student years, Kerin had dreamed of making a fursuit of her own. What started as a personal interest gradually became something she wanted to pursue more seriously. She began studying the work of skilled fursuit makers from both China and overseas, learning from different styles, construction methods, materials, and finishing techniques.

In the early stage, Kerin explored the craft through self-learning and small commissions. Each project became part of the process: understanding how a character could be translated from a drawing into a physical form, how structure affects expression, and how comfort matters just as much as appearance.

After 2022, Kerin had to pause fursuit making due to health reasons. This break did not end her interest in the craft. Instead, it gave her time to reconsider what kind of work she wanted to create, and how to continue in a more stable and sustainable way.

In 2024, Crane met Kerin through their shared interests. Crane graduated from an art academy and previously worked in a design company. With a background in visual design and a similar love for handcraft, character design, and making things by hand, Crane joined Kerin in rebuilding FURGENCE as a small two-person studio in Xiamen.

Today, FURGENCE is run by both of us.
Every project is handled directly by the makers, from design interpretation and structure planning to material selection, production, and final adjustments.

We want to keep the direct communication and hands-on warmth of a small studio, while continuing to improve our workflow, quality, and visual language.
