Date: Wednesday November 19th
Time: 10-4 with hour lunch
Description: Join us for a day with Yeonsoo Kim as he demonstrates his use of traditional methods of making with contemporary surface. Kim utilizes the Onggi technique, a method unique in the world for slab, coil building large pots and forms. Traditionally born out of necessity in Korea, Onggi pots were and still are used today for food fermentation and storage. His works explore identity and psychological conditions through the processes of making and daily life.

This class will be mainly demonstration and lecture, but there may be small amounts of participation.

Contemporary Surface Decoration

Description: Join us for a day with Yeonsoo Kim as he demonstrates his use of traditional methods of making with contemporary surface. Kim utilizes the Onggi technique, a method unique in the world for slab, coil building large pots and forms. Traditionally born out of necessity in Korea, Onggi pots were and still are used today for food fermentation and storage. What makes Kim’s work so unique is his approach to surface. Using slip and sgraffito techniques on clay, he invites us to a world that combines humans, nature, and space. These works, when amassed, act as a type of diary or a visual record of listening to his inner voice. His works explore identity and psychological conditions through the processes of making and daily life.
Special Note: There will be an hour lunch break. Each of Yeonsoo's classes can be taken on their own; no need to sign up for both unless you want to.
