Workshop in Seoul
Join ceramic artist Yoon Hee Kim for a two-day Moon Jar making intensive at Slow Clay Studio in Seoul. Intermediate level. Lunch and materials included.
A two-day intensive rooted in Korean tradition.
Over 10 hours, you will work with Korean white porcelain to learn centering, throwing, volumizing, and trimming techniques while creating a complete 8 lbs Moon Jar using Korean-style wheel throwing methods taught by Korean ceramic artist Yoon Hee Kim, founder of Yoon Lab Ceramics. The workshop takes place at the beautifully designed Slow Clay Studio in Seoul and is taught entirely in English. (252 Noksapyeong-daero, Yongsan District, Seoul, South Korea)
What to ExpectLearn wheel-throwing methods rooted in Joseon-era pottery tradition — posture, force, rhythm, and form as they were practiced by Korean masters.
❋ Korean TechniqueThe Moon Jar is not a beginner project. This workshop requires at least one year of wheel-throwing experience and the ability to throw a 15” tall cylinder.
❋ A Demanding Form❋ Small CohortLimited seats mean focused instruction. You will spend real time at the wheel with direct guidance both days.
All tools, porcelain clay and materials are provided. Lunch is included on both days. The only thing you need to bring is comfortable clothing you do not mind getting clay on.
❋ Everything ProvidedAbout the Instructor
Yoon Hee Kim is a Korean ceramic artist based in the United States and founder of Yoon Lab Ceramics. With over ten years of experience, she specializes in traditional Korean wheel throwing techniques, with a focus on Moon Jar forms and mindful making. She earned her BFA in Design from the School of Visual Arts in New York City and has shared her practice through in person and online teaching for years.
This workshop is about learning the form rather than taking one home.
At the end of the workshop, your Moon Jars will be cut open, a traditional way of studying the wall thickness, shape, and internal structure.Day OneArrival & Foundations
