{"title":"HAJEONG LEE ROGERS","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHajeong Lee Rogers spent much of her childhood and early years in Seoul, studying at Sungshin Women’s University in 1995. During her time there, she studied craft as an umbrella discipline and soon discovered her undeniable adoration for ceramics. She harnessed this skill and graduated with a BA in 2001, and a MA in 2003. She returned to this same university as a teaching assistant and subsequently became a lecturer. Whilst teaching, Hajeong focused on creating large ceramic works, and soon received the National Award for Craft Art in 2005. Her practice relocated with her to the UK in 2011, setting up her own studio alongside her husband’s workshop in rural Wales, where she still works today. This transition in craft and scenery reinforced her love for the timeless beauty of functional ceramics. In 2021, Hajeong was elected as a Fellow of the Craft Potters Association. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHer work utilises an array of traditional Korean Buncheong techniques, beloved for its experimental nature, both rustic and dynamic. The technique can be identified in Hajeong’s work through her use of inlay, white slip and iron brush work, creating a deeply thoughtful sense of depth and solidity in her pieces. Her vessels possess an intriguing complexity in their forms, developed through her use of floral and fluid markings upon rigid and structural surfaces. Many of the interiors and bases of her works reveal the raw high iron clay beneath, complimenting her adept use of grey and white glazes and slips. Hajeong’s Buncheong ware reflects her beloved appreciation for refined craftsmanship and the beauty of timeless ceramics. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0233\/5583\/collections\/hj01.jpg?v=1784120687","url":"https:\/\/maudandmabel.com\/collections\/hajeong-lee-rogers.oembed","provider":"Maud and Mabel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
