Shades of white
- • Heesook's entire family are artisans
- • She uses the complicated double-wall moulding process
- • She feels white radiates the elegant beauty of porcelain
Heesook Ko studied ceramics and won major prizes in competitions with her slip casting technique. She typically forms the basic shape using plaster mould casting and then adds her own unique touch with a spinning wheel. This is the artist’s own method of adding a sense of being finite and unique to casting work that can be reproduced endlessly. Along with partial glazing, the formative characteristic she has maintained from the beginning is the complex double-wall moulding process which was added to her repertoire as a signature design to maintain the artisan’s originality.
