Red Clay Bodies
Creatively, I like the idea of how an English slipware can intersect with a Korean Buncheong style of ceramics¹. As a result, I am trying to use red or dark clay bodies, similar to those used in English slipware, but firing to stoneware temperatures, as is done in Korea……
Buncheong, back to Korea and a bit of history
Buncheong ceramics came into being in Korea during the Joseon dynasty of rulers in the 15th and 16th centuries. Prior to this time, during the rule of the Goryeo dynasty, a fine green glazed stoneware ceramic was made in Korea.
