Across the Jade Ocean   만남옥빛 바다를 건너 

Clay for You Korean Pottery Group

Across the Jade Ocean features Korean celadon and buncheong ceramics by Master Clay Jung-Hong Kim and Sylvia Kim and their students. They started the collective, Clay for You, to build a community and explore what it means to innovate within a tradition while in a diaspora. Celadon is liquid jade. The title of the show connects both the colour of the pottery and the blue-green ocean that each of the artists, or each of their parents crossed in order to come together in this collective. Across the Jade Ocean is especially important to the group, as it also celebrates how they kept creating through adversity during a global pandemic.
