About Me

My photo
Cho Hak
I am a Korean American potter and retired professor. I worked principally with Kenneth Beittel, Hamada Shoji, Manji Inouie and worked in Icheon, Korea. I’ve been a potter for many years and fire mostly in gas and wood. Occasionally, I fire anagama with Ken Shenstone. Mary, my wife joins me in this work. For nearly 40 years, I have also been interested in Korean tea, about 10 years ago I decided to try to promote Korean tea and Korean tea ware. That was when Morning Crane Tea was born. Why have I not mentioned the long interest in Korean tea here before. I consider myself to still be a beginner. At the same time, I know many others who consider themselves experts on Korean Tea having studied it a few months or a year or even after one trip to Korea to view their tea fields or a few conversations with several Korean tea people. If they are experts and I am not, why do I find so many errors in their work? In another ten years I may no longer say I am a beginner, but until then this is what you have.
