Onggi has been popularized as Korea’s large fermentation vessels, but its meaning is not limited to large vessels. We explore how ‘onggi’ encompasses a way of working with certain types of clay and with certain firing conditions. In this intensive session we uncover the deep roots of onggi in Korean society and its role as a vessel for humanity, both literally and figuratively. We begin by exploring how specific cultural, geographical, and culinary contexts informed the development of this incredible set of techniques, then dive right into making. As Teacher Kwak Kyung Tae forms an onggi from start to finish, his apprentice will be translating his detailed commentary on each part of the process. One of the beautiful aspects of Onggi is that each movement has been developed and refined by generations of potters; you will witness the same movements that were being used thousands of years ago. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/portland/half-day-onggi-demo-with-kwak-kyung-tae/100001968269967457 - **Event Categories**: trips-adventures - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 172.57, max: 172.57, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Portland - **state**: OR - **country**: United States - **location**: Oregon Contemporary - **lat**: 45.5834345 - **long**: -122.6857108 - **full address**: Oregon Contemporary, 8371 North Interstate Avenue, Portland, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Half-Day Onggi Demo with Kwak Kyung Tae - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/3dfbf94d7fe7fa36e0e0bcdef2fdca9d36f99d8e0ce8b9463d9b74880916d572-rimg-w1200-h975-dca7a7a7-gmir.jpg?v=1763702294 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Half-Day Onggi Demo with Kwak Kyung Tae being held? - **A:** Half-Day Onggi Demo with Kwak Kyung Tae takes place on Sun, 01 Mar, 2026 at 01:00 pm to Sun, 01 Mar, 2026 at 05:00 pm at Oregon Contemporary, 8371 North Interstate Avenue, Portland, United States. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for Half-Day Onggi Demo with Kwak Kyung Tae? - **A:** Tickets for Half-Day Onggi Demo with Kwak Kyung Tae are priced at USD 173 per person.
