Korean Buncheong Ware Course with Hajeong Lee Rogers

Sign up for this course and pay in full.

Buncheong pottery is a Korean aesthetic form that emerged between the 14th and 16th centuries. It is recognized as a dynamic, bold and strangely modern type of ceramic that has had a profound and lasting influence on western studio pottery.

This course offers an introduction to Korean Buncheong ware and its decorative techniques, inviting you to explore the beauty and history of Buncheong pottery. Guided by the contemporary artist Hajeong Lee Rogers, who brings these ancient techniques to life through her teaching and artistic practice, you will learn and explore seven traditional decorative techniques - such as inlay, stamping, sgraffito, brushwork, among others.

During this 9-day course, participants will create pieces using both wheel throwing and hand-building. The program also includes glazing and wood-firing in the Sasukenei, our Japanese-designed smokeless kiln, a process in which all participants will actively engage, from production to firing.

By the end of the course, you'll take home not only the unique pieces you've created, but also new practical skills and a deeper understanding of this living tradition, which you can continue to explore in your creative journey.

Training 5-6 hours a day, speaking in English and Portuguese;
