Ceramic classes
I am a ceramic artist and educator with over seven years of experience in wheel throwing, specialising in porcelain. My practice is particularly influenced by Korean ceramics, developed through training with master potters such as Kwak Kyung Tae, Moon Do Bang, and Yoo Sung. My teaching is enriched by a refined technical skill set in wheel throwing, drawing on techniques from a range of cultural ceramic practices.
