도자공방 활성화에 관한 연구 - Bauhaus의 공방교육을 중심으로

Abstract

Under the influence of industrializations of the present society, ceramic crafts could not be popularized and existed under social conflict and contradiction. This research proposes a new possibility of the cermic crafts. For the true development of a world famous Korean pottery culture, seeking for a new paradigm to fulfill social, cultural, and periodical demand according to its social change is necessary. In other words, the problem of ceramic crafts in modern society can be supplemented, and this idea should be the new identity of the ceramic crafts, making up for weak points in the present and to be prepared for the future. Especially, imperishable tradition of Korean pottery culture in the midst of harmful consequences of industrialization shows its possibility. The periodical changes and requirements of studio potters, who can also be seen as the source of craft culture, are analysed and their roles and significances are established. A direction for the modern studio potters is also suggested in the view of studio workshop at Bauhaus, which was the main training at the institution who established a fundamental concept of the modern design. The 21st century's pottery studios should focus on communicating with the end users by craftsmanship and a good attitude with its basic principle to increase human happiness, hence improving communication with the end users and overcoming the cultural estrangement in this modern society.
