Lee In Chin earned his Bachelor's and Master's degrees at Hongik University, where he is also professor. He has broadened his exploration of East Asian ceramic traditions by studying in Bizen, one of Japan's distinguished ceramics centers, and through his recent work at a studio in Jingdezhen, China, where he began to produce white ware.


Lee In Chin's ... jars, plates, vessels and bowls stand as a testimony to his interest in the variety of colours and textures of clay under exposure to fire. The result is a spectrum of colours ranging from yellow to bright orange, red brown to almost black. Some pots recall the round "moon jars" of the 17th century, while others, because of their earthy color, are reminiscent of the bold round jars of the Silla period (third century to 935).
