This study is a research on the ceramic surface decorations applied using the dripping technique made possible by adding various metal-oxides to the different types of slip, which was a method used in the Buncheong ceramics.
1. Super white clay, a porcelain clay that is easy to slip, has great transparency, and presents a high degree of whiteness, was selected as the clay used in the production of the work.
2. In order to present a formative decoration effect on the surface, high temperature pigments were mixed with the super white for the color data research.
3. A wide range of color materials obtained through the tests were applied on the work using the dripping technique which is a technique of creating an effect using various tools and methods such as, flicking with your fingers, using the syringe to sprinkle, or squeezing a sphere shaped rubber tool with your hand.
4. A method based on the slip casting process that combines drain casting and press molding was used to produce the work.
5. Through this process, the dripping technique applied as the surface decoration of various ceramics possesses the characteristics of baking in high temperatures and developing permanent preservation without fading and discoloration.
Therefore, through various tests with the dripping technique, the researcher has developed a dimensional and formative dripping technique that captures a fluid feel which constantly moves along the surface of the work and expresses complex repetitive tangles reminiscent of a universe that contains infinite time and matter.
Based on this study, the researcher expects to conduct further research regarding new and more diverse dripping techniques in the future.
