ibake stone

Drawings from Bolgna. With time, I come to understand myself, quietly wishing that the smallest things might stay with me for a long, long time.

Started this May to squeeze out some time to spend in this sunny studio, making shapes and getting nails stuffed with clay. Notes with some interesting form shots taken at a walk in the far upper west. -by Lu

Park avenue apartment It took 2 years to feel Newyork as my home. The more I live here the more I realized that no matter where I am, everything is about the people around me. Friends are family here in New York and wherever I am, my friends make "home" for me.  Drawing by Nayoun thinking of my families

Ibake[E-bake] story We often exchange emails on Friday when we are in the office. I(Nayoun) am a busy bee and Lu is a slupy Penguin. (See the last photo). Whatever I send to Lu, she always makes me smile with her response. Happiness comes from small little events and thanks to Penguini(Lu), I always had smiles during Friday in the office :] You’ll read Lu’s personality from her works. My plan was to write about Lu but realized it’s so hard to summarize who she is. But as you can sense, she has a genuine heart that’ll make you emotional. I describe Lu’s surrounding atmosphere ..=Shushu! Something.. Shushu!! (Word from nowhere but you’ll get it if you know her). What I learned from Lu is jia ba bue, to be an honest human, keep motivated, and have a genuine heart for this world. We are about to start a new journey after graduation- We will be in Seoul and Taipei this summer! Can’t wait to share more of our stories and inspiration from the city where we called home and from us! : ) Our upcoming contents will be … ( . = s t o n e ) !!! *I call Lu Lemon (from Lululemon),Lumoni,Tzuhsin,Penguini,sister (either older or younger), etc etc. N Na Nana Nayoun

Nayoun is my korean food teacher, at the round table in her house, she showed me multiple korean dishes that she enjoyed making. We spend time talking about our lives in the past, and our lives in New York, we formed ibake here at this table too. For me, in order to truly know a person is by observing her personality at home. I learnt a lot about nayoun through watching her back when she prepare food in her kitchen. When thinking about shapes in wet shop, I’m thinking about who is this tableware for, and how would they use it or store it in different occasions. Just couple weeks old in wheel making process, still much to learn and test, just like what nayoun is always saying, 28 is when my life begins, let’s gooooooo!

LILY Flora Lamp (2023) Lilium (/ˈlɪliːəm/) is a genus of herbaceous flowering plants growing from bulbs💡💡💡, all with large prominent flowers. Lilies are a group of flowering plants that are important in culture and literature in much of the world. Most species are native to the northern hemisphere and their range is temperate climates and extends into the subtropics. Since my mother became a florist, flowers have meant a lot to me. I look back on the numerous bouquets I received without understanding their meanings. Will I now be able to comprehend the significance of the flowers I once had? What is light? What does light mean to you? The definition of light changes every day. So today, the definition of light is a flower, and a flower is light #ibakestone #lamp
