The Korean Cultural Centre (KCC) Australia in partnership with the Korea Ceramic Foundation presents Day By Day: Korean Ceramics in Daily Life at its gallery. This exhibition introduces a selection of ceramics created with Korean traditional as well as contemporary techniques and focuses on the practical and functional aspects of Korean ceramics in everyday life; vessels, plates, cups, bowls, etc.
Korean ceramics have long been regarded as the finest in East Asia. The history of Korean ceramics began with the oldest earthenware from around 8000 BC. While receiving outside influence and interacting with other cultures, Korean pottery has developed into a distinct style of its own, such as the moon jar and the style of painted decorations.
In this exhibition, emerging and established Korean ceramists from 17 studios showcase their handmade pottery with utmost calibre utilising a variety of practices and techniques handed down across multiple generations.
