Winter Wheel + Wood Firing Residency

21 DAYS / 1 MEAL PER DAY / ACCOMMODATION ALL INCLUDED* December 15 - January 05, 2026 A rare opportunity to learn both traditional Korean wheel throwing and wood firing techniques! This special upgrade of the Wheel Throwing Learning Residency will involve a wood kiln firing of residents’ wheel thrown work. You will participate in a wood kiln firing of pieces you’ve made during the technical curriculum, in the process learning how to prepare and fire the studio’s custom wood kiln in shifts over two days. Over the 21 days, residents will each have an assigned station inside Toroo Studio, with access to unlimited clay for practice, a wheel and all necessary tools, equipment and materials for making. Teaching will be provided every day, with the exception of the second and third Sunday (December 21st and December 28th) when the studio will be closed to allow residents to rest and explore the ceramics village. Each resident will be provided accommodation in Ye's Park within walking distance of the studio. The village in which the studio is located is full of ceramic artists and their studios. *Please note: - Check in between 3pm - 5pm on December 15 (plan to arrive at Ye's Park at this time). We will have dinner together following residents’ arrival. - We will provide lunch. Toroo Studio's kitchen will be at your disposal during the Residency, you can shop for groceries at the local supermarket and prepare your breakfast and dinner, or eat out in the village at your own convenience. We will go grocery shopping to a larger market following residents’ arrival and the studio will serve dinner twice a week. We will provide staple groceries as well as coffee, tea and desserts. - Instruction will start on December 16th. Instruction begins each day around 9:30am, giving residents opportunities for one-on-one or small group learning, to be then complemented by residents’ autonomous practice. Lunch will be provided around 1pm. You will have your own working space, unlimited clay for practice, wheel and a set of tools. Clean-up each day will be at 5:30pm. - We will cater the residency slightly differently for each resident's profile, depending on your experience level and practice style. Beginners are welcome, however prior experience in ceramics will help you to take full advantage of the independent nature of the residency. Please indicate any dietary restrictions during the registration process. We look forward to welcoming you!
