About
Born 1972 in South Korea
Yun has broken the traditions of making Moon Jars by adopting slip casting and applying incredible surface decoration. The innovative ceramist is renowned for the development of his own technique, ‘Cheomjang’, where dramatic textural surfaces are created using slip and pigment to create numerous hedgehog spikes or points. The slip is brushed directly onto the jar or vessel and left to dry; this process is then repeated more than a hundred times to achieve a dramatic surface. One application of slip creates a coating of 0.3mm.
