Field notes
The homepage labels its presentation a “records layout sample” and introduces a No. 001 entry for Kim Hee-geon, a jar maker in Yeoju; it lists a 1,200° kiln and fourth-generation background. The described format is a one-hour workshop visit, process video and photographs, and the same five questions for each person, with faces optional. The project says each page can also serve as an English introduction with a QR code, directions, and ordering information.
