Meet Jihyun…

Jihyun Kim (b.1997) is a ceramic designer from South Korea based in London. She holds an MA in Ceramics and Glass from the Royal College of Art, and her work has been shown internationally, including at Collect, Milan Design Week, and the British Ceramic Biennale.

Her practice blends sculptural and functional ceramics, drawing on Korean fairy tales, folk beliefs, and personal memories shaped by her grandmother. Using gloop glaze as a structural material, she embraces its unpredictable flow to create forms that feel both intentional and mystical. Through her work, she shares Korean stories and invites a sense of magic into everyday life.
