MoonDoBang

Instagram sensation, Moon Do Bang creator Mr. Moon, Byung Sik, will make his first visit to the US with a tour of California and a stop over to Helena, Montana.

Mr. Moon owns and operates MoonDoBang, located in Yeoju, South Korea. He is a hard working, prolific ceramic artist who claims he is “most comfortable behind the pottery wheel”, and loves sharing his work with others. 

He first touched clay in high school and he developed a passion for the practice, and for the love of form that led him to open his own business at the age of 26.

Moon Do Bang loosely translates to Moon’s Pottery Shop.
