Making of an onggi (옹기) by Hyangjong Oh (오향종)

- I had an amazing three weeks stay at Hyangjong's studio in Hwasun, Korea in 2018. He was extremely generous with his time showing us his working methods and taking us around the surrounding areas.
This video shows a very rare onggi making process using handmade slabs. The three-day wood firing process was truly an experience to remember. My favourite shift was 2am-6pm when I went to bed with the sunrise! Enjoy the video! Thank you!
What is Onggi, exactly?
Hyangjong Oh explains that Onggi emerged as a distinctive style during the late Joesen period towards the end of the 18th century. He identifies five broad characteristics that make a work quintessentially Onggi:
1) Clay: Use of unprocessed, natural clay taken directly from the earth. The only change made to the raw clay by Hyangjong for example, is grinding down any large stones within it.
2) Technique: Use of the paddling technique (수레질 “Surayjil”). Hyangjong said that the paddling technique is not exclusive to Onggi and was used more generally in pre-Joesen era celadon ceramics.
3) Glaze: Use of natural glaze, typically made with just two ingredients, raw clay and wood ash
4) Firing: Fired to stoneware temperature 1,280 °C using a single, oxidisation raw firing (i.e. there is no bisque firing).
5) Form: While Onggi vessels come in many different sizes, they all share a distinctive form and aesthetic.

So, I asked Hyangjong, who is 30-year Onggi master, what Onggi is exactly. This is how he explained it:

Спасибо за более подробную информацию. Привет и республики Беларусь ;)
First it is the consistency of the clay, but hand work is the most amazing part! No wonder it is becoming a lost art!
I watch the entire process and I am none the wiser as to how it was made. What a master. Thank you for sharing this.
Same here! He makes it look so easy....! Thank you for warching!
❤what is it for?
I am in awe and speechless!
I have no words...
I’m just amazed that 90% of his tools are his hands and fingers!
Seriously, that’s an incredible workout 😮
SIMPLY AMAZING! BRAVO MAESTRO!!!!!
Wow ! that is some skill ..very very impressive
Different but very inspiring, thanks for sharing
you are obviously well adapt to your way of making pots, it's nice to see different ways, thank you,
Thank you.
Miss.Anita Sowell loves this From Nashville Tennessee
Thanks for post.
Beauuuuuuuuutiful! 😍
So fun to watch!
Amazing skill👍👍
Excellent job,
Great job, my friend, congratulations for your talent in clay pottery 👏👏👏👍
Ich finde diese Art Gefäße genial. Besonders wie sie verschlossen werden. Das man den Rand so gestaltet, das er durch Wasser dicht gemacht werden kann. Und ich finde sie schön. Tolle Arbeit. 👍🏻
Muito bonito .
Parabéns!!!
아주 훌륭한 영상입니다.. 모두 고맙습니다.
Wow! This is amazing!
I remember at my grandma's house the jar that she has in the kitchen she used to store our drinking water is always cold.
Wow! Thank you so much for sharing. He must have very strong arms and hands from making that big of a pot.
This is a tecknique to avoid the use of muscle. this is all skils and little muscle. true mastery.
ROCK STAR!
Beautiful craftsmanship and one fine looking functional Onggi
Muito bom parabéns
Thanks u it an amazing onggi
옹기 빚는 걸 처음 봅니다. 이렇게 멋질 수가...
It's sad this is a craft that is dieing not anytime soon but fewer masters are passing on there craft as it stands there are about 50 known left. Glad to see the craft surviving
It's spelled dying. I worked with pottery making in my college years we didn't have to sit on floor to condition the clay either.🙄
@@Og-Judy yeah it is isn't it. Also you making mommy a mug and the craft of onggi are two very different things
@@Og-Judy kkkk

Fantástico trabalho!
Grande Mestre dos bons sem dúvida alguma.
Os meus parabéns 👏
amazing mate, your a boss.
Absolutamente admirable , desde Valencia España 1000000 de felicitaciones
Watching a master at work you could think it was easy!
All my respect.
Master.
Ask him where I can buy a DOK or a Jangdokdae and have it shipped to me in the Netherlands. I am 1/2 korean and cannot find anywhere to buy on. Yes, I googled it as well in several different ways. A Dok is the huge onggi. It is used to make: soybean paste, soy sauce, hot pepper paste, fermented salty fish, makgeolli, kimchi and anything that is a fermented food. If you are in South korea and want to make 100 gallons of Sauerkraut it will work for that as well. Lol. I need 10 Jangdokdae/DOK !!! It is for personal use only.
TOP!
Muito legal! Tem que ter muita paciencia! A plásticidade do barro é algo extraorinário.
Isso é arte pura!
👏👏👏
Obrigado...🥇⚱
i see god there it.s nice to see a god like ceramicx
Rất cực khổ mới ra được 1 sản phẩm cho chứng ta dùng. Cả 1 kỳ công của ông làm việc say mê với tất cả sự kiên nhẫn. Tôi thích kho thịt cá = nồi đất.
Amazing
that device hanging down on the inside? is that for some kind of measure, is it part of the proces that a heavy weight, hanging makes it so perfectly round ?
Hi, that is a charcoal hanging burner to dry the pot very slowly as his makes it. Some makers use a gas burner but that only dries to the outside but the charcoal burner dries the most wet part of the pot first. The burner is quite light and for this size pot, he fills the burner fully when he starts and I remember he didn't have to refill during his making. Thank you!

That is Italian Terrazzo on his floor!
What is this artist's name and where does he sell his onggi?
The artist is Hyangjong Oh. You can enquire about his work through CrimsonEarth: www.crimsonearth.co.uk/hyangjong-oh
I LİKE İT REALLY NİCE
Thank you for watching!
🙈👍👍
Hello. I will be visiting South Korea and want to participate in making Onggi. Is there anyway to connect this person and other that is offering hand-on pottery experience? Thank you!
Hi Kristina,
I don't think Hyangjong has his own studio yet. He has moved from the studio (in the video) I last visited him. If you are on instagram please check @daebuyo and @kwakkyungtae. They are both onngi makers and based out of Seoul. Good luck and enjoy the experience!

Trabalho difícil
I just wonder why people speak in Spanish in the background. Beautiful job btw.
There were makers from different countries, along side me, that had come to learn onggi!
Just cut a hole in the floor ??? I hope he is not renting ....
wouldn't it be easier just to throw this, instead of slab work? am I missing something?
It is very difficult, perhaps even impossible, to throw something that's 80-100 cm in one throwing session. For example, big moon jars (c.60 cm) were traditionally thrown in two parts - which takes more time due to drying.
Slab building seems to be the most time-economical option. Onggi masters tend to throw smaller pieces. Though Hyangjong is so skilled with his slab work, that it takes him the same time as throwing! Hope that helps. Thanks for watching.
@@leesaewon Thank you for the information.
If you look carefully as the pot turns you will see that is is not perfectly round like a wheel thrown pot. It is close, but not perfectly centered. Still an amazing talent and many years of practice.
