About the Artist
Cory Lum was born and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii. Cory works primarily as a commercial/advertising photographer. Lum fell in love with the ceramic medium over 10 years ago and has attended ceramic workshops with Takashi Nakazato (Karatsu, Japan), Ah Leon (Taiwain), Gu Mei Qun (Yixing teapot maker), Joel Park, Lee In Chin (South Korea) and is a humble student of Omote Senke (Chado). In the late 1990s, Lum saw a Japanese magazine containing the work of Kato Tohkuro and humbly tried to make a chawan like Kato sensei's free flowing and spontaneous chawan. Finding the process impossible to create a piece similar with the same spontaneous aura, Lum strives to add his own personal creative spirit into each piece.
