Hello, I'm Sunkoo Yuh, currently living in Athens, Georgia, in the United States. I've been immersed in the world of ceramics for more than three decades, and I'm excited to share a peek into my craft with you.

My expertise lies in crafting porcelain sculptures, a process I would like to walk you through:

It all begins with my ink drawings. These two-dimensional sketches serve as the starting point for my sculptures, which I then turn into captivating three-dimensional pieces.

What adds an exciting twist to this whole process, is the element of unpredictability. Even I don't always know how the final sculpture will turn out until I add the finishing touches.

So, I'd love for you to come along on this artistic journey with me, as we explore the fascinating world of porcelain sculpture.
