Tuition $2,010
Code C0709-25
Adam Field shares the traditional Korean Onggi coil and paddle pottery techniques he learned during his Onggi apprenticeship with Onggi Master Kim Ill Maan. Participants learn and practice all steps of this ancient process including rolling and paddling large coils, wheel throwing and forming traditional Onggi vessels, glazing, firing, and even fermenting with guest fermentation professionals. Participants gain a historical perspective through the creation of the oldest continuously practiced pottery tradition. Generous discussions about aesthetics, materials, ceramic history, and studio workflow are certain to encourage individual discovery, growth, and development of fresh ideas. Participants gain skills, knowledge, and confidence to create and decorate historically informed functional pots in their own voice.
