Yŏn, So-min, 2000-2024
Book
"Yeon Somin's English-language debut about the art of making things by hand in a fast-paced world and the healing power of finding community"-- Provided by publisher.After breaking down at the office and abruptly quitting her job, thirty-year-old Jungmin holes up in her apartment, speaking to no one for days on end. When she finally emerges, she stumbles upon a pottery studio in her neighborhood and is invited in by the mysterious workshop teacher. The smell of clay, the light filtering through the plant filled windows, the friendly cat, and the incredible coffee the students drink awaken her senses and make her feel alive and inspired for the first time in months. As the seasons change, Jungmin slowly returns to herself and builds a new community with the other members of the studio, who are all working through their own pasts at the pottery wheel. When the holidays approach and snow piles up on the studio windowsill, Jungmin realizes how much she has changed--with her hands busy and her mind clear, she may be ready to face the memories she's been running from and open her heart.
