The ceramics were noticeably found in excavation sites and historical stations all over Cambodia. It was extremely popular since the prehistoric period. And until today, it is still proven to be very convenient to fork my people on a daily basis. Generally, regardless of whether it is used for decoration or kitchenware, there are two types of ceramic. Namely, the earthenware englased version. To understand how ceramics are made in the modern world, the might-mine news media would like to divert the audience attention to listen to our interview with Sun Seh Han, who is now the owner of Mordak Ceramic Shop in Sydney. My name is Sun Seh Han, and I am the founder of Mordak Ceramic Shop. I was actually born in Kepungshnan to a ceramic and pottery background family. I started to pick up the skill when I was young and continued to further my specialty in ceramics, eddy, royal university of fine arts, where I was professionally trained by Japanese and German instructors. My journey as a porter first began in 2003 in my hometown Kepungshnan. As I began to help my family with creating ceramic wares. My family has a strong background in this profession as it was passed down by my grandmother for three to four generations already. Because of my love and passion for ceramic wares, I dedicated my life to perfecting and upgrading the quality of ceramics in Cambodia. That is when I decided to move to Simribe from Kepungshnan Province in 2015, where I have been running my own business. I aim for my products to be of quality and standardized to provide for the tourism and hospitality sectors. Moreover, I have innovated the classic ceramics into a glazed version, which is higher in quality and more sustainable for everyday use. The glazed version requires an attentive amount of work. We have to double the heating process from 12 hours of 900 to 1000 degrees Celsius on the first try to a 1300 degree Celsius on second heating. For the war, our shop has two types of ovens. The first kind of oven conventionally depends on burning root to produce heat, while the second type relies on gas. We build our own conventional ovens by using locally sourced materials that we can find. However, we do have to buy foreign materials as well, like from Thailand, to build the gas oven for better insulation. On the other hand, the glazing process is particularly time consuming. After studying with foreign instructors from 2006 to 2008, I further self-studied and experimented with coloring and other techniques over the course of four to five years. Afterwards, I still continued glazing and testing with other local ingredients, such as ashes, limestones and mountain stones, even during my business journey. But most importantly, we have to be very cautious about the ingredients layered onto the ceramics before baking precisely at a 1300 degree Celsius to get that beautiful glazing effect. The only problem that we occasionally face is suddenly this coloration, which is beyond our control. Due to the organic ingredients that we use, the ashes of root would vary accordingly in their own natural setting. Therefore, the color would change suddenly, corresponding to certain temperatures or environments. We bought dirt, particularly from Komponchnan and Bates-Rai District in Siam-de-Provense. I usually bought a large amount of dirt from Komponchnan all at once, due to long distance. And even though Bates-Rai is nearby, the price is quite expensive. It demands commitment and time into making pottery. First of all, we would start by thoroughly mixing the dirt with water until it turned into paste. Next, the paste must be filtered to get rid of the remaining debris or stones. And we have to leave the paste for a bit longer before drying the mud under the sun. Finally, after the mud is quite dry, we will mold it and store it inside plastic bags, which will preserve the mud's condition for up to several months. Potters who are working at our place will receive payment according to their level of skill. Even beginners who are just starting will be provided with a monthly payment alongside ceramic training. And professional potters will be paid in correspondence to their skill and work. So far, we have trainees from both the Bates-Rai District and the Komponchnan Province. We also have recruitment opportunities for potters who are living in Komponchnan as well, for them to upgrade their skills and earn more for their respective families. Furthermore, our main priority is providing an opportunity in ceramic specialization for the poor or uneducated, hoping that they could make a living out of this expertise and extensively promote the skill to the next generation. At the same time, our Muradak ceramic shop has pottery classes for tourists or individuals who would love to learn more about the art. Today, we have classes available for foreigners and especially my people to promote the value and the commitment of ceramics. Usually, ceramic production would require a series of steps and hard work before reaching the final result. It involves multiple phases, including making clay, molding, sculpting, heating, and coloring to create a good looking and standard ceramic. Moreover, we have been taking inspiration from ancient temples and replicating the statues of mythical beings in ceramic production. It is an act of preservation as well as an art to demonstrate to the next generation the beautiful and priceless legacies given by the Khmai ancestors. Finally, I would like to express my utmost gratitude to those who have been constantly supporting the Muradak ceramic shop and the ceramic community in general. It has been a huge encouragement for us in conserving the ceramic culture in Cambodia and in the future.
