Onggi Intensive Learning Residency

21 DAYS / 1 MEAL PER DAY / ACCOMMODATION ALL INCLUDED* Dates: June 17 - July 08, 2025 This special version of the Onggi Learning Residency is a deep dive into the deeply culturally significant ceramics practice. An extended, intensive version of the 12 Day Masterclass, this is a rare opportunity to receive teaching in specialised Korean techniques, including: - forming slabs, discs and coils by hand using the taryeom (타렴) and ba-dak (바닥) techniques; - building high walls of clay quickly and evenly using taryeom-jil (타렴질) hand techniques; - refining these using surae-jil (수레질) paddling and geun-gae-jil (근게질) throwing with metal blades; - throwing the rim using the jeon-dae (전대) material, and gain deeper understanding of traditional moon-yang (문양) decorations Residents will gain a deep understanding of this special ceramics practice, from onggi’s functional origins to exploring contemporary innovations. Over the 21 days, residents will each have an assigned station inside Toroo studio, with access to unlimited clay for practice, a kick wheel and all necessary equipment and materials for making. Teaching will be provided every day, with the exception of the second and third Wednesday (June 25th and July 2nd) when the studio will be closed to allow residents to rest. Each resident will be provided accommodation in Ye's Park within walking distance of the studio. *Please note: - Check in between 3pm - 5pm on June 17th. We will have dinner together following residents’ arrival. - We will provide lunch.
