A video today...Ongii Master

Lee Kang-hyo, Korean Potter (link to video on YouTube)


From his student days, to his thoughts about pottery, to his doing dances and Tai Chi, as well as how his wife bought their kiln...a nice half hour to look at subtitled and definitely inspirational potting! Thanks to Alex J. Wright, film-maker. (See link at top of post for full video.)

I envy the potters who have gone to Korea to learn some of the techniques, to enjoy the culture, and who share some of it through their own works.

Quote for today:

The function of freedom is to free someone else.
