About Yoo Sung, Ansung-si, South Korea
Follow: @yoosung_kiln
Since his youth, Yoo Sung loved to make and draw. He attended Icheon Design & Ceramics Highschool, and upon graduating, he continued a 30 year professional career by starting to work at a traditional Buncheong and porcelain production studios. From this experience, he developed the skills that allowed him to open his own practice in 2005.
Yoo Sung’s formal training began with traditional Korean pottery, but his white porcelain work expresses modern sensibility that is added to or subtracted from the teachings of traditional motifs, drawing inspiration from folk tales and translating into detailed artistry on his porcelainware.
Masterclass intensive workshops during will focus on teaware and tea sets. Participants will learn to make each element of the tea service with attention to detail, function and form.
