We’ll start by returning to the basics: pinch potting and coiling; simple, direct ways of working with clay by hand. From there, we’ll move into the two joined vessel technique, using these initial forms as a structural starting point. Through joining, cutting, and refining, each piece is allowed to develop at its own pace. The work may become a vase, jar, pot, or sculptural form, shaped by proportion, balance, and the material itself.

This workshop reflects an accumulation of what Re Jin has learned through years of studio practice and time spent learning alongside potters and makers in different parts of the world.

The emphasis is on process over outcome, offering a clear framework while leaving space for intuition and individual direction; building a foundation you can continue to return to.
