Autumn 12 Day Onggi Masterclass

November 07 - November 19, 2025 Learn the rare art of the Onggi technique, a method unique in the world for coil building large pots and forms. Born out of necessity, onggi jars were developed in ancient Korea for food fermentation and storage and are still used today. A quintessential example of how form follows function, monumental onggi jars and the efficient techniques used to build them are a living art. You will have access to traditional wooden tools to use during the course, and taught how to make coils, form the base of the pot, and coil the clay using the “Taryeom” method. Later you will learn how to paddle the form and shape it, giving you a newfound sense of volume and proportion on a large scale. There are only a handful of onggi masters left in Korea, and even fewer opportunities to learn from one first hand with English translation. **Please note: - Check in between 3pm - 5pm on November 7th (plan to arrive at our studio at this time) - Dinner will be provided together with the other students on November 8th evening. - We begin November 8th with breakfast in our studio from 9:00am - Instruction begins each day at 9:30am, lunch will be provided around 1pm followed by a short break and again practice and instruction until evening from 2:30pm until 5:30pm.
