A stunning matcha bowl in the Korean 'Sabal' style, featuring a simple white slip applied using the traditional 'Deombeong' technique. Well known for their unassuming simplicity, these 'everyday bowls' from Korea have become one of the most sought-after shapes in Japan for tea ceremonies. Typical of Deombeong, the form is nearly completely covered, save for a small area that escapes the pour, remaining dark and revealing the nature of the clay underneath. 

Marco Minetti

Seemingly inspired by the transience and imperfection found in the world around him, Marco Minetti's work is imbued with a naturalness that not many are capable of recreating. Minetti spent several years living and working as an apprentice in China, Japan, and Korea, and though he carries a strong commitment to all techniques he learned abroad, the most influential apprenticeship was that of master potter Kwak Kyung Tae who works exclusively in Onggi (large fermentation vessels) and Buncheong (an intricate method of slipware from rural Korea.) Both challenging and liberating, these methods allow Marco to express intention in his pieces while their sensitivity captures his energy and state of mind in the moment of creation. "Right when you're not expecting it, beauty surprises you." When Marco is not home in California foraging native clays and ashes for his work, he can be found in Korea hosting Ceramic Masterclasses with his friend and co-founder, Kwak Kyung Tae.
