What is Morning Earth Korea?

Someone once said that Korea’s greatest treasure is its people.  They have endured the ravishes of war, the uncertainty of peace and have built a South Korea that can boast great progress at all levels of society.  Perhaps the greatest of these is least known to the outside world - Korea’s Intangible Cultural Assets and other outstanding artists who preserve, strengthen and enhance the arts of Korea. Their contribution to the continuation and strengthening of Korea's beautiful culture is immeasurable.

Morning Earth Korea's original focus was ceramics.  We have provided workshops on aspects of Korean ceramics to more than 3700 artists and teachers from at least 35 states.  In addition we have hosted ceramic tours for more than 200 guests from nearly 25 countries.  In 2010 we turned our attention to Korean tea and tea ware by developing the company Morning Crane Tea.  Morning Crane Tea is slowly becoming recognized as one of the go to sources for Korean teas of exceptional quality and rarity.       

Our work is a multi-faceted approach to raise the consciousness of the Western world to the wonders that are found in Korea.  Our primary focus has been ceramics and tea believing that the mutual symbiotic relationship between them lies at the center of Korean culture.  But we are not limited to either ceramics or tea.  We simply want to introduce you to those aspects of Korean culture that interest you most.    

Morning Earth Korea provides workshops for conferences, universities, schools, artist groups and others.  We act as consultants on grants related to Korean arts and culture. We also produce videos as well as informational portfolios and other publications.  In addition, we have established blogs and websites that begin to introduce selected aspects of Korean culture to the outside world.  As a part of our work we develop and often host theme tours throughout Korea. 
We can help you design private, family, school or company tours based on your particular interests.  
We promote and sell Korean tea and tea ware to help promote the artists and tea producers of Korea.

Now we are embarking on an exciting new project providing the opportunity for artists and teachers to work in Korea with well established Korea artists in their studios. 

Teachers and artists who have experienced our workshops have said our tour experiences are unparalleled.   Experienced travel professionals have called our tours, “... the most cultural rich tours available.”  Even so, we work to keep our prices as reasonable as possible.  We encourage you to contact us to discuss your thoughts about visiting Korea.  What about Korea interests you?  Contact us.    

What are these tours like?  One guest who was born and raised in Korea exclaimed on one of our tours, "I am really experiencing Korea for the first time in my life".
