Korean Porcelain Trimming Skills w/ Moon Byeong Sik

22 Comments / Korean Ceramics /

On my recent visit to S. Korea I was able to connect with Moon Byeong Sik, a porcelain potter I had met a few years back. This was my first visit to his studio and he was gracious enough to offer me a wheel and some clay and we both threw pots and compared techniques. While neither of us speak too much of each others language, we were able to use the clay as a prop for conversation.
