Here are some pictures from the Korean Master potter Shin Yun Kyun whom I got to know while living in South Korea. He is well known for his work and style. He fires his pottery using a wood kiln which is very labor intensive. The actual firing takes up to 36 hours and the potters are not sure how many of their creations will survive. Generally about 40% survive. This is one of the reasons pottery is expensive. However, to be able to have, hold, and use such pottery is an absolute pleasure. I feel it connects us to the elements that make up this universe.
Here is a link to more pictures on my photography site. Enjoy! Michael Cichon
