Kim throws, trims and cuts porcelain vessels, allowing each to evolve naturally. Often, her work mimics what she sees in nature. She finds beauty in details such as the curves of the human body or the delicate layers in a blossom.

Kim opened her own studio in a small bakery space in 2004. Since then, she’s been immersed in continuous experimentation and exploration of clay.
