<a href="https://theumbrellaarts.org/yeonsookim" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Visiting Artist Workshop with Yeonsoo Kim</a> “Breathing Volume: Traditional Onggi and Buncheong Expression” Saturday, August 15 (demonstration only) &amp; Sunday, August 16 (hands-on workshop) | 10 AM - 4 PM Cost: Saturday only: $75 | Saturday &amp; Sunday: $165




Join us for a weekend workshop with visiting artist Yeonsoo Kim as he guides participants through the history of traditional Korean earthenware Onggi vessels, their production and significance, and how he incorporates these functional jars into expressive contemporary narratives. Kim will demonstrate the unique coil construction methods of Onggi pots and share the vibrant surface decoration techniques that illustrate his work.
Saturday is a demonstration only that will focus on the "Breathing Volume" of Onggi. Following an artist talk on the history of Korean earthenware, Kim will demonstrate the traditional "Tarae-ssaki" (coiling) and "Su-re-jil" (paddling) methods. Participants will see how rhythmic paddling creates structural integrity and dynamic volume in large-scale vessels. Saturday registration is open to all; no experience necessary.
Sunday is a hands-on workshop dedicated to the traditional Buncheong techniques of Sanggam (inlay) and Bakji (sgraffito). Participants will learn how to apply white slip over a darker clay body to create high-contrast imagery. Practicing on their own vessels and small demonstration tiles, participants will explore how to carve out negative space (Bakji) and inlay fine lines (Sanggam) to translate personal narratives onto the clay surface. Sunday registration requires Saturday participation. Participants are encouraged to bring a leather-hard vessel to decorate; Umbrella will provide tiles for practice. Some ceramics experience recommended.
