About this Workshop
The moon jar, a notable piece of traditional Korean white porcelain created during the Joseon Dynasty (1392–1897), is the inspiration of this workshop. Originating in the 17th century, it earned its name due to its resemblance to the moon and the creamy hue of its glaze. Comprising two hemispherical halves seamlessly connected at the center, the moon jar exhibits a subtly irregular shape, which were often heightened during its harsh firing process. During this workshop, Dave will show and discuss several techniques employed in crafting this distinctive pottery form, including shaping and throwing large vessels. Dave will also share the storied history of moon jars, discussing their cultural significance and the influences that helped shape this iconic representation of Korean pottery.
