Footnote: Young Gi Seo started producing pottery at the age of 18 and has risen to prominence as one of South Korea's premier studio potters while holding a professorship at Kyonggi University. A joint exhibition featuring Young Gi Seo was held at the Leach Pottery, St. Ives, in 2019, exploring the ongoing relationship between Korean and Cornish pottery established by its founder Bernard Leach who visited Korea in the 1930s and brought back a Joseon Dynasty moon jar, stating that owning it was akin to 'carrying a piece of happiness'.
