Kim will demonstrate the unique coil construction methods of Onggi pots and share the vibrant surface decoration techniques that illustrate his work. \nSaturday is a demonstration only that will focus on the “Breathing Volume” of Onggi. Following an artist talk on the history of Korean earthenware\, Kim will demonstrate the traditional “Tarae-ssaki” (coiling) and “Su-re-jil” (paddling) methods. Participants will see how rhythmic paddling creates structural integrity and dynamic volume in large-scale vessels. Saturday registration is open to all; no experience necessary. \nSunday is a hands-on workshop dedicated to the traditional Buncheong techniques of Sanggam (inlay) and Bakji (sgraffito). Participants will learn how to apply white slip over a darker clay body to create high-contrast imagery. Practicing on their own vessels and small demonstration tiles\, participants will explore how to carve out negative space (Bakji) and inlay fine lines (Sanggam) to translate personal narratives onto the clay surface. Sunday registration requires Saturday participation. Participants are encouraged to bring a leather-hard vessel to decorate; Umbrella will provide tiles for practice. Some ceramics experience recommended. \nAbout Yeonsoo: Yeonsoo Kim is a South Korean ceramic artist currently based in the United States. His work has received national and international recognition\, including being named one of NCECA’s Emerging Artists of 2020. Most recently\, he was honored with Best in Show at the 2025 Smithsonian Craft Show and was distinguished as the Featured Artist and Best in Show winner at Richmond Art and Design (2025).  \nHe has participated in prestigious residencies at the Archie Bray Foundation\, where he was awarded the Matsutani Fellowship and the Etchart-Sartre Fellowship. His residency experience also includes the Houston Center for Contemporary Craft and the Korea Ceramic Foundation. Kim’s practice continues to explore the profound dialogue between tradition and contemporary form\, focusing on the evocative “breathing volume” and the visceral presence of clay.

Umbrella Arts gave me a room\, and that single material fact changed the work more than any decision I made.” – Sayako Hiroi \nShowcasing a selection of work from our 2025/26 Artists-in-Residence cohort\, In Residence explores the development of their artistic processes over the past year\, examining what takes shape when you have the ability to provide your art practice a home. \nThe space and time made possible by the Umbrella Arts residency gave each artist the freedom to develop their art organically\, without the pressure to arrive at a result. Drawing on the tensions between presence and absence\, the physicality of the artist’s studio\, and Umbrella Arts’ commitment to community\, In Residence is a cumulative celebration of the cohort’s work that demonstrates the rediscovery and reclamation of their art. \nLearn more at TheUmbrellaArts.org/in-residence URL:https://freedomsway.org/event/in-residence-katie-fee-sayako-hiroi-and-ivo-makianich/ LOCATION:The Umbrella Arts Center\, 40 Stow Street\, Concord\, MA\, 01742\, United States CATEGORIES:Programs ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://freedomsway.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/In-Residence-Square.png ORGANIZER;CN="The Umbrella Arts Center":MAILTO:stewart@theumbrellaarts.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Halifax:20260819T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Halifax:20260819T210000 DTSTAMP:20260701T134123Z CREATED:20260701T134123Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260701T134123Z UID:39128-1787133600-1787173200@freedomsway.org SUMMARY:S³: A Moment of Reflection DESCRIPTION:Exhibition Dates: July 8 –  August 30\, 2026\, 10 AM – 9 PM\nOpening Reception: July 15\, 2026\, 6 PM – 8 PM (RSVP appreciated) \n\nThe Student Summer Showcase\, S³\, returns for its second year as The Umbrella’s annual celebration of the work our student community is creating in our classrooms.
