Kwon Taeyeong
In the past, learning pottery was not easy.
Apprentices often began as the youngest in the workshop, learning through hardship—taking on all the physical and demanding work.
Kwon Tae-young endured those years, and nearly four decades have passed.
The many awards on the wall, his certification from the Master Craftsmen Association, and his recognition as an official master potter of Icheon all speak to his dedication and sincerity.
Now, he hopes to share the rest of his journey with you.
