CRAIG EDWARDS, a potter from New London, will spend three weeks in South Korea and Japan to learn more about the forms, kilns and glazes of folk pottery. He's interested in the hand building and wood firing techniques used by the Onggi potters of Korea and the Mengei of Japan. He'll visit kiln sites in five different provinces in Korea, looking at design, construction materials, firing processes, firing materials, and the rhythm and routine of the annual production and firing cycles. He'll visit museums, and the leading proponent of the Mengei Movement in Mashiko, Japan.
