About the Maker

I am Annie Kim, the creator behind Kongji Pottery. While I never particularly considered myself an artist, I have always been a maker at heart. Since taking my first class in 2019, I fell in love with pottery and its uniquely tactile combination of craftsmanship and artistry, and knew it would be a lifelong pursuit.

I create thoughtfully designed and wheel thrown functional ware. I focus on refined forms and understated yet captivating pieces to enhance every day moments, from savoring your tea or coffee ritual to enjoying your favorite meal.

The name Kongji is a nod to my Korean roots. The word "kong" means bean, and it invokes the idea that everything starts small, which undoubtedly is what helped me to create Kongji Pottery. Thank you for being here!
