About Yoo

I started learning ceramics on the pottery wheel in 2021, but it only took one hand-building class to fall in love with that approach to ceramics. I’ve been hand-building* ever since.

*Hand-building refers to the method of using clay slabs, sculpting, and molding as opposed to the method of throwing and pulling on the pottery wheel; each method produces its distinct set of characteristics.

If I had to name my favorite part of the ceramics process, it would be glazing. Each piece presents an exciting opportunity to experiment with glaze + form combinations, try new effects, and achieve a unique result.

My philosophy to ceramics in a nutshell: lean into your imagination, and experiment with it - you might create some cool things.
