3. Pottery by Unha: Connecting with Tradition Through the Touch of Clay

You also cannot miss the classes at 'Pottery by Unha,' where you can deeply connect with clay while learning traditional Korean ceramic surface decoration techniques. Artist Unha Hill passes down traditional and highly expressive techniques such as Buncheong (grayish-blue slip-coated stoneware) and Sanggam (inlay). The sensation of touching moist clay spinning on the pottery wheel, and the deep immersion of delicately carving the surface with a sculpting tool and stamping intricate floral patterns, provide a sensory joy that is hard to experience elsewhere.

• Visit Tip: Small intensive bootcamps are held primarily at the Hamilton, Ontario studio, and she also conducts workshops in collaboration with local studios in Toronto, such as Spin Pottery Studio. Since the classes are small, spots fill up very quickly. If you want to experience the depth of Korean pottery and the healing power of clay, it is best to contact her and register early.
