Free Artist Talk with Visiting Resident Hayun Surl

Saturday, August 1, at 11am at the Belger Crane Yard Gallery

Join us for a FREE Artist Talk with visiting ceramic artist Hayun Surl! Learn about his process, personal history, and projects he’s undertaken during his residency at the Belger Crane Yard Studios.

Originally from Korea, Surl spent two years on an apprenticeship in Korean traditional pottery and kiln design before he received an MFA in Ceramics from Ohio University. He is currently an Assistant Professor of Ceramics at Angelo State University in Texas.

Surl’s work blends Eastern and Western techniques and philosophies, embracing and challenging traditional norms. He explains, "I see my work as the creation of artifacts—objects that draw from my personal history and the archives I have collected and created."

During his residency at Belger Crane Yard Studios, Surl is developing a new body of work focused on exploring the fluidity of cultural identity through large-scale ceramic sculptures.
