Kang Young June's work employs a technique called Buncheong, a popular style in Korea.
This method involves applying white porcelain soil to black soil, then drawing and curving the surface with a sharp tool.
After sculpting the design, the remaining areas are naturally scratched away.
Another technique involves applying white porcelain slips onto black clay,
which reflects the textures of the sea, sky, ground, and wind.

“ My work is crafted from red clay sourced from Miryang, Korea. Instead of elaborate decorations,
I choose to polish the surface to showcase the texture and essence of the earth.
The inlaid floral patterns serve not only as decoration but also as a quiet record of the changing seasons
and the passage of time captured within the clay.

The process of selecting, shaping, drying, and refining the clay is a slow and straightforward one.
He embraces this pace, breathing in harmony with the soil and accepting the traces left behind by fire and wind.
These markings are expressions of the remnants left by people and nature.

The completed tea ceremony is a tranquil experience. In that silence, earth and fire, wind and time,
along with my own hands, find a harmonious balance.
The moment tea is poured, this balance comes alive in the present, enriching the drinker's senses.

There is deep fulfillment to be found in simplicity."
