Gwiyal/Inhwamun Mug by Sang Joon Park
Ceramic artist Sang Joon Park was born in South Korea and currently lives and works in upstate New York. These beautiful stoneware mugs feature either blue or red brushstrokes and a stamped handle.
“My intent is to express my thoughts through my vessels, which are mostly thrown on the potter’s wheel. For some of my pieces, I use traditional Korean techniques — inhwamun stamping/inlay technique to create floral patterns, and gwiyal slip technique to apply expressive color slips. I believe that the combination of these time-tested techniques and my modern forms create unique, artful pieces that are beautiful yet practical.”
Most of Sang Joon’s pieces are stoneware fired to cone 6 which is about 2230 degrees in Fahrenheit. All pieces are food safe, as well as dishwasher and microwave safe.
