The American Museum of Ceramic Art is honored to present ICHEON: Reviving the Korean Ceramics tradition, an unprecedented exhibition organized by Icheon, South Korea. Icheon has a history of ceramic culture that began over 5000 years ago and has a reputation for its internationally renowned ceramics cultural events. Now Icheon
has reached out to an American institution for the very first time. As the premiere exhibition of its kind in the United States, ICHEON will present over 230 objects never before seen on American soil that exemplify the revival of the ceramics tradition in Korea from antique techniques to contemporary innovations.
Icheon Public opening is from October 12th- December 29th. Join us in welcoming Icheon Dignitaries as we celebrate this major exhibition on Saturday, November 9, 2013, 6:00pm‐8:30pm.
Founded in 2001 and opened in September, 2004, AMOCA is one of the few museums in the United States devoted exclusively to ceramic art and historic innovations in ceramic technology. It is located in an area abounding with ceramic history and internationally recognized clay artists from the Arts and Crafts Movement, the 60's Clay Revolution and the current Studio Pottery Era. Geographically, the building is located in an urban downtown district where art is an important element of the continuing and successful community revitalization program. The home community consists of a rich ethnic mix and a large academic constituency with approximately fifteen institutions of higher learning within an eight-mile radius.

    Mind = blown. I’ve never seen a pot thrown like that before. This changes everything.

    This is the freedom of the perfection of an art..and for an art to be mastered you need practice and a lot of discipline..

    For anyone musically inclined, the song consists of repeating variations of Em – C – G- D – I still can’t find the title of this piece but it wasn’t too tough to figure out on piano.  Hope this helps!  🙂

    This video is one of the most beautiful experiences of my day, and every day, full screen, full volume, or on my television.  It has become my primary meditation tool, my road into quietness and the slowing of pulse and breath.  The more times I watch it, the greater the effect–every visual detail is both nearly memorized and a fresh discovery, the music is perfect.  I can’t thank you enough for it.  It’s been a life-changer for me.
