“Ghost” brings together my wheel-thrown form and the expressive hand of my teacher, Master Lee Hyang-gu, a Korean pottery master with over 50 years of moon jar practice.

Made during my training in Icheon, South Korea, this piece grew from my curiosity about surface decoration. Master Lee offered to demonstrate different slip techniques, personally decorating this jar before its wood firing. I remember the laughter, his mischievous humour, and the confidence and flair of his movements as he worked across its surface.

Those gestures remain in the finished piece. Raised porcelain slip sweeps around the rounded body, catching the light and revealing subtle depth and shadow from different angles. Its approximately equal height and width reflect the balanced proportions I had been working towards under his guidance.

For me, its significance lies in that meeting of hands: a form shaped through my learning, carrying the marks of the master teaching me. “Ghost” holds a tangible connection to our time in the studio - a shared work between teacher and student.
