Description du service
The 5 days includes : Clay Basic tools Lunch, coffee, tea Onggi tool set for each student of a value of 300€ : 4 wooden tools, 2 metal ribs, 1 shammy tool Mr Kwak will be bringing an Onggi wheel from Korea for demos. All levels, from beginner to advanced are welcome without discrimination. Although the main curriculum will be offered to all students equally, we cater to each person's level and ambitions with further 1:1 guidance throughout the class. Onggi is a method for making large pieces quickly and efficiently. Neither a wheel throwing method nor a pure handbuilding method, Onggi requires a unique set of techniques that allow the maker to create a jar of any scale with the highest efficiency of movement. Students will learn and study each step in this process from stretching the clay into coils, making the base, coiling up the wall, to the paddling, shaping, rim making, etc. We will also discuss traditional glaze and firing methods. This course welcomes those who desire to make larger work but may be intimidated by throwing large on the wheel. For those who have tried or currently use handbuilding in their work, but desire a fresh set of skills, a faster workflow or want to diversify. Program : Regional influences, i.e how geographical limitations influenced subtleties of form and making techniques Clay sourcing, storage, and preparation for making Onggi, historical and contemporary approaches Practical method to stretch coils on the table from a block of clay Making the base disc and compressing it flat with the pang-mang-i Coiling process simultaneously attaching the coil and creating height in the wall of the piece in a rhythmic set of micro techniques that become one collective movement Paddling the form using wooden tools inside and outside to compress, thin, and shape the form on the wheel Final Shaping using metal rib tools for smoothing the surface while altering the line of the final form. Rim forming and refining using a traditional long shammy cloth Scribing of lines and decorative motifs, historical significance and their role in accentuating form Lifting the Onggi off the wheel with traditional cloth method Kwak’s interpretation of traditional Onggi techniques in his artistic practice Cancellations 1 month before the start of the workshop can receive a 50% refund or get a credit.
