Korean Moon Jars

Traditional Korean Moon Jar Workshop
Dave Kim, 4 Week Course
All Bout Clay - Midtown, Manhattan, NYC
(Sept 13, 20, 27, Oct 4)

Traditional Korean throwing techniques. The hand positions were new to me and my brain-hand coordination needs work. I understand the benefits/”why”.

Week 1: we learned how to cone <6lbs of clay, how to throw using traditional Korean throwing techniques to throw moon jars off the hump, and I continued my spiral wedging quest.

Week 2: we learned how to throw a 6lb moon jar. I am grateful to have previously learned wonderful techniques from Kseniya Polyakova, this allowed me to throw larger amounts of clay during this workshop.

Week 3: we learned how to throw a 12lb moon jar. Again, learning Kseniya’s specially refined techniques drastically increased my success rate at throwing this amount of clay.

Week 4: we learned how to create a composite moon jar :)
