Stillness shaped in clay. This ceramic vase was carved to guide movement; line, space, and breath working together as one composition. The flowing surface holds the rhythm of water, wind, and time, while the form grounds the arrangement in calm balance.

This piece lives in that sweet spot where art meets everyday life. Made as both mug and sculpture, form and function, it’s handcrafted using the Korean bakji (박지) technique and finished in a soft green translucent celadon glaze, revealing the carved textural surface beneath.

This vase is built on the Chinese double-gourd “Hulu” (葫芦) form, a shape long connected to protection, abundance, and long life. Over that classic silhouette, I layered a Korean surface tradition, Buncheong Bakji (박지), where the vine pattern is revealed through carving.

Balance is not something we grab for in language, but something revealed when the grasping of language stops. The mind stills, the distractions slow, equanimity begins. No more, no less; waking to what is enough.

Two cups carved with flowing lines like a topographic map of calm. Made to be held, sipped quiet, and enjoyed in a cozy space.

Nature doesn’t hurry, it unfolds. This handmade mug carries that same energy. Quiet movement, and the kind of rhythm you only notice when you slow down. Every curve holds a little reminder that the best things in life develop over time . . . just like clay, and just like us.

The Art of Life and Life of Art In this ikebana arrangement, the vessel becomes more than a container, it becomes a philosophy made visible.

This vase feels like a meditation on “the Way” (Do / 道), the idea in early Korean philosophy that the universe doesn’t need to be controlled, only aligned with. Its ridged surface is like time itself, repetition with subtle change, like seasons returning but never identical.

This vase holds a memory of the wheel, each line a recorded moment, each curve a flow. Set within a traditional Korean space, it echoes a long conversation between clay, hand, and home. A vessel that slows the room and asks you to notice how stillness is made.

空中有痕 (공중유흔) “Within Emptiness, a Trace Remains” 도는 흙에 묻노니 어찌하여 손을 떠나지 않는가. 말 없이 답하여 불 속에 차분히 익더니 이제 비어, 머물던 자취를 간직하도다.

Nature doesn’t rush, it flows like the lines of tree rings and currents of streams, recording time as entropic memories. This mug reminds, aligns hand and clay in one moment given to a life that lives and taken by a life that gives. #NatureAndFlow #PerceptionalCeramics

Language reaches for this chawan, but as Sen no Rikyu taught, the bowl speaks most clearly when nothing is said. In the spirit of Ikkyū Sōjun, meaning slips free of words, living instead in paradox, imperfection, and direct experience.

This chawan holds more than tea, it holds a quiet conversation between matter and awareness, body and mind, left and right hemispheres, west and east, micro and macro, . . . . .

Hand-carved and full of movement. This mug brings slow mornings and quiet moments together, earthy, grounded, and made to be held. One of a kind, just like your daily ritual. #handmadeceramics #handthrown #pottersofinstagram #ceramicmug #artisanmade #functionalart #madebyhand
