Sophie Chai Studio

I’m Sophie Chai, a ceramic artist based in Sydney, Australia, specialising in moon jars.

You can find more of my work, process and pottery journey on TikTok + Instagram @sophiechaistudio.

My work is shaped by the traditional techniques I studied in Japan and Korea. In Bizen, Japan, I worked as an assistant to ceramic artist Kazuya Ishida before travelling to Icheon, South Korea, where I became Korean Master Potter Lee Hyang-gu’s longest-standing international student.

Under Master Lee, I learned to throw moon jars in one piece on the wheel, using only my hands - without ribs or shaping tools. Here, I share the practice behind my work, alongside my continued journey learning and refining this remarkable form.

My moon jars are available to collectors worldwide, with international shipping from Sydney.
