Just before the 2020 pandemic we moved to South Korea. My love for handmade pottery found the ideal place to explore Korean handmade pottery -Icheon. Its an entire village of potters. This became my go-to-weekend place.
On one of my trips I was the first one to reach and patiently sat with the cats while the studios opened for the day.
I tried my hand at making a simple cup. But it takes 10,000 hours to be a master, who can make it seem so simple. Even though my cup didn't really look like one, I am glad my quest and passion for handcrafted things found a new form in a new land.
These memories will stay with me for a long time and I carried a number of handmade pottery pieces which I will love to share once I am back home in India.
