Thrown by hand
Every pot is thrown on the wheel or hand-built from slabs and coils, start to finish. No slip-casting, no decals — just centered clay and clean-trimmed feet.
Wheel-thrown in Seoul · Seongsu-dong
A working pottery studio
Tableware, vases, and sculptural vessels thrown, glazed, and fired by hand in our Seongsu kiln room — with small ceramics classes open to anyone who wants to feel clay move under their hands.
Our story
Thrown, glazed, and fired in Seongsu
Local stoneware thrown on the wheel, glazed in small batches, and fired over two slow days in the kiln.
We opened this pottery studio in a quiet corner of Seongsu-dong because we wanted a place where clay could take its own time. Every mug, every serving bowl, and every vase that leaves the studio is thrown on the wheel or built by hand, then trimmed, bisque-fired, glazed, and fired a second time in our own kiln. Nothing here is slip-cast in a factory, and nothing leaves the shelf until the foot is trimmed clean and the glaze has come out of the kiln right.
The studio runs on a simple belief: shaping clay with your hands is good for you. The wheel asks you to slow down and stay centered, hand-building rewards patience, and every firing teaches you to let go of the outcome. That's true whether you've been throwing pots for twenty years or you're sitting down to center your first ball of clay. So alongside our own tableware and commissions, we keep the doors open for small classes — the studio feels most alive when the wheels are all turning at once.
Everything in the gallery below was made in this room, on these wheels, with clay bodies and glazes we mix and test ourselves: a warm stoneware that keeps a good weight in the hand, a bright porcelain for finer tableware, and a rotating library of ash, celadon, and matte glazes fired to cone 10 in reduction. Prices for finished pieces start around ₩45,000 for a small cup and vary with size, clay body, and glaze — get in touch and we'll tell you what's currently on the shelf.

About the studio
What we make, and why
An honest description of how we work. Replace this with your own story — how you started, which clay and glazes you love, and what visitors can expect.
Our own glazes
We mix and test our own clay bodies and glazes, from soft celadons to matte ash. Each piece is labeled with its clay and glaze so you know exactly what you're holding.
Small classes
Wheels stay limited to six to eight potters per session, so everyone gets real time centering clay and plenty of one-to-one help at the wheel.
Fired in-house
Bisque and glaze firings happen in our own kiln, so we control every stage. You leave class with pots that come back to you fully fired and food-safe.
Beginners welcome
Most classes assume you've never touched clay. If your first cylinder collapses, good — that's the lesson. This is exactly where you should start.
Commissions
Need a matching dinner set, a café's mugs, or a wedding gift? Tell us the form, glaze, and quantity and we'll throw it to order and fire it for you.
Questions
Frequently asked
No. Our beginner classes assume you've never touched clay — we start with wedging and centering and build from there. If you're unsure which class suits you, just mention it in your inquiry and we'll point you toward wheel throwing or hand-building.

What our potters say
A few notes from people who've taken a class or taken a pot home. Replace these with your own reviews.
I'd never sat at a wheel before and left the four-week course with a full set of bowls I actually eat from every day. The teachers stayed with me through every collapsed cylinder.
The hand-building workshop was the calmest six hours I've had in months. Small group, great clay, and I walked out with a slab-built planter that's now on my balcony.
I commissioned a set of tea cups as a gift and the celadon glaze was even softer in person. You can feel that every cup was thrown and trimmed by hand here.
