So the semester got rolling and I didn't get to my 50/50 goal. I feel accomplished for what I have done, already over 50 things. I have glazed 30 items already and we will hopefully be lighting the kiln tonight. I have made a few more whiskey jugs, and something I'm very proud of- a casserole dish. It's a decent size, I'm excited. I made a lid for it also, essentially a shallow bowl. I want to try and make a few plates doing the same thing, I'll try and attempt that soon.
But what I really wanted to make a blog about are these videos of Korean Onggi pottery. This is a family tradition of making these pots that a lot of traditional korean food is stored in. These guys are incredible to watch, each coil is hand rolled and each vessel is coil built on a wheel and then man handled to get a good form. It is crazy to watch these forms start and then 30 minutes later be full pots.
I hope you enjoy this set of videos as much as I have.
