Artist Talk - Dansan Kim Young-tae of Gonmyeongyo

As an accompanying program to the exhibition "Muju: Dwelling Ceramics, Ido Chawan," we have prepared a special session with ceramic artist Kim Young-tae of Gonmyeongyo.

Join us to hear the artist's stories about his research into Sacheon's Sueulto (Water-Earthenware clay) firsthand, touch the actual Sueulto, and explore the entire process of how a single tea bowl is completed. This is an opportunity to share the journey of finding and handling materials, firing in a wood-fired kiln, and the consistent path of his work, all while enjoying tea.

We hope this session will be a chance for everyone to contemplate the form of ceramics that dwells in their hearts, tracing the history of earth, fire, and time, and understanding why so many people have been captivated by Ido Chawan for so long.

Additionally, seasonal new tea, matcha, and traditional confections will be served, allowing you to deeply experience the harmony of the artist's ceramics and tea.
