Born in 1988, Kim Hojung studied Ceramic Art at Kyung-Hee University before completing an MFA in Industrial Ceramics at Hong-Ik University. In 2017, she was admitted to the Royal College of Art in London, where she earned a Master of Arts in Ceramics and Glass. At the RCA, she took part in a collaborative project with the Victoria and Albert Museum, selecting pre-1950 ceramic and glass objects from the collection and developing a contemporary visual language from historical sources. She is currently a PhD Candidate at Kyung-Hee University, where she also teaches as Adjunct Professor in the Ceramics Department.

Her practice is built around the Flow series — a body of work rooted in sustained research into ancient vessel forms: Cypriot jugs from around 2400–1600 BCE and Korean Neolithic comb-pattern pottery, which proved the most personally resonant and now provides the direct formal basis for the series. Rather than recreating historical forms, Kim Hojung translates their surface logic into a contemporary language: points, lines, and planes that meet by chance to form new compositional orders. Surface texture is not decoration — it is a record of process.

Colour carries meaning in the work. Cobalt blue holds a sense of longing for the infinite spaces of nature — sky and sea. Teal green brings the quality of forests into everyday life: quiet, restorative, and present. The two registers anchor the series in the natural world while keeping it abstract.

Kim Hojung has exhibited internationally across the UK, France, Germany, the USA, and Hong Kong, including at the Gyeonggi International Ceramic Biennale, the Cheongju International Craft Biennale, Galerie Handwerk Munich, Fine Art Asia Hong Kong, and the New Craftsman Gallery in St Ives. Her work is held in corporate and private collections in Korea and internationally, including Amorepacific (Sulwhasoo) and the University of Pennsylvania Health System.
