The Nam Center for Korean Studies will offer an exciting teacher workshop that will immerse participants in Korean culture and history. Ceramicist Kim Yikyung–whose work is featured in the exhibition–and UMMA curator Natsu Oyobe will be distinguished speakers. In addition, Ann Arbor artist Daria Kim will present a ceramics demonstration and Mary Connor, president of the Korea Academy for Educators will lead a session on teaching about Korea. Teachers will visit the exhibition Life in Ceramics: Five Contemporary Korean Artists, as well as UMMA’s permanent collection of celadon and other wares. The day will be punctuated by authentic Korean food and teachers will take away a substantial packet of contextual information and lesson plans for immediate use in their classrooms. SB-CEUs are available ($10 processing fee).
