Kim has been working in clay for over 10 years and teaching with us for five. Her artistic journey began with a degree in filmmaking from Boston University in 2005 and continued into a decade-long career as a graphic designer. In 2012, she became a student at The Clay School and immediately fell in love with ceramics. She left the corporate world to pursue pottery full time four years later.

Kim’s porcelain pieces are nature-inspired and use hand-carvings, slips, and glazes to create or obscure texture. She loves to explore the relationship between what we see and what we feel when we interact with ceramics.

Kim’s work has been featured in juried fine craft shows around the country, most recently American Craft Made 2023 in Baltimore, and a 2022 solo show at The Southern Vermont Arts Center. Her work can also be found in galleries including the Los Angeles County Museum of Art store. When she isn’t teaching, Kim can be found working in her Salem, MA home studio with her husband, cat, and “studio assistant” pup.
