Jiyong Lee
Jiyong Lee is a professor and head of the Glass program of Southern Illinois University Carbondale since 2005. He graduated from the MFA program at Rochester Institute of Technology in 2000. Lee was born and raised in Korea where he received a BFA in Ceramics Design from Hong-ik University. His education in both Korea and the United States represents two different cultural perspectives that have prepared him to work with students who come from diverse backgrounds. Having his feet in both cultures also has broadened his personal aesthetics and appreciation for different ways of thinking. He specializes in cold-working and kiln-forming processes and he has exhibited nationally and internationally. He gave lectures and demonstrations in many places including the 2007 Glass Art Society Conference, Rochester Institute of Technology, the Studio of the Corning Museum of Glass, Cleveland Institute of Art, Penland School of Crafts, Pilchuck Glass School, Pittsburgh Glass Center, and Kook-Min University, Seoul, Korea.
