About

Inchin Lee is a leading international contemporary ceramics artist who immigrated to America as a child, then returned to South Korea to focus his studies in East Asian ceramics. With over 40 years of experience, Inchin now specializes in wood-firing and the utilization of different stoneware and porcelain clays to produce voluminous jars and vessels.

The works are carefully fired in an extremely labor-intensive process, nurturing high temperatures in wood kilns for over a week. The final forms are a marriage of the natural marks left by the wood fire, and expert vision of Inchin Lee. All pieces are crafted at his home studio in Anseong, South Korea.

Inchin is also a retired professor of 31 years at Hongik University (Department of Ceramics & Glass) and a current Art Director for E-Land Group in Seoul, where he continues to consult and nurture the next generation of contemporary artists in South Korea. He frequently hosts workshops and seminars in Jingdezhen (China), New York and California.
