I was honestly super apprehensive about starting this project.

Making Onggi pots comes with a lot of weight — questions around cultural appropriation, respect, and doing things the right way kept circling in my head.

Having never seen a traditional onggi up close, we made a trip to what must be one of the most incredible working collections of onggi in Australia.

Huge thanks to for your time and generosity. I walked away feeling inspired — and a lot less intimidated by the task ahead.
