Oh Hyang-jong majored in pottery. Although he initially planned to study ‘Onggi (traditional Korean pottery)’ for just a year, he’s continued honing his craft for 40 years, captivated by its charm. He learned Onggi under the guidance of five masters, but finds that the more he works with it, the more challenging it becomes. He has traveled the world promoting Korean Onggi, participating in conferences, exhibitions, and various other activities. Currently, he teaches Onggi making at his workshop in a small rural village in Jeju, while also pursuing his own creative projects.
