Jihyun's Final Work 20250322 

⌀ 10 x 4.7

Colored porcelain, Wheel throwing, 1250 °C Oxidation firing, 2025

The final piece in the series—crafted after ten rounds of practice and perseverance—is a small bowl made just for the NOOBtist herself, a proud “small eater.” While it may seem too tiny to be called a rice bowl, the size is just right for its intended purpose. Finished in her favorite color, the bowl features a rich purple tone created by mixing purple pigment with white porcelain. The vivid surface is beautifully complemented by delicate white speckles, a result of using grogged porcelain. Despite her own claim of having no talent for working with her hands, Noobtist Jihyun ended up creating a surprisingly refined and high-quality piece. It now resides in the NOOBtist’s own collection, and its not-for-sale status is almost a pity.
