Colours found in Jihyeon’s (@jeeheystudio ) studio.
Muted greens, faded blues, soft reds against raw ceramic.
The kind of palette that feels collected over time, not selected at once.
Where Objects Feel Alive
On clay, eyes, and the moment something begins to look back. — with Jihyeon, Jeehey Studio @jeeheystudio
Jihyeon gives her objects eyes. It began as instinct — she has always seen faces in things — and became the logic of an entire practice. The moment two gazes meet, both presences become real. That exchange is what she wants her work to carry.
“The moment someone’s eyes meet yours, suddenly it becomes clear — you’re there, and I’m here. I wanted to give that to my ceramics.”
She tried Noka by setting it next to different pieces, changing the colour to see what suited what. Orange and pink were her favourites, warm against the cool steel. The colour that suits the piece and the colour that suits the mood, she says, are different things.

Not a record, but it rotates. 💿
A track by SHHORN (@ateliershhorn ). Played on Noka.
Noka set to red, the light returned to when everything else fades.
Where colour meets material.
Not styled, not placed. Just found.
In @ateliershhorn ’s studio,
contrast exists in its raw state.
Blue against white, red against steel.
This is how we see.
Not objects, but how they meet.
Thinking Through Making
On starting without the full picture, and finding out what it is along the way. — with Sean, Shhorn @ateliershhorn
Sean has kept every patter n sheet since 2015. None of them are finished — they are questions, asked with a pencil, answered slowly across seasons. He
came to garment-making through architecture, and never formally learned construction. He learned by making, and making again.
"Nothing's fully painted in my head until we're making it. Don't just picture it. Let it go and use the time to discover."
He keeps his Noka close, moving it from the cutting table to the sewing station to wherever the work is that night. The red light, he says, helps hone into the space when there's no other light around.

There’s something almost vinyl about Noka.
A surface that rotates,
a light chosen in Thannie’s tone,
and a track that follows her rhythm.
Light, on repeat.

Moments of colour, found in Thannie’s (@gom_maker ) studio.
Small fragments that build a larger mood, one that Noka quietly lives within.
