In 2013, YÉOL created the “Young Craftsman Award” to recognize promising young craftsmen. The prize is aimed at expanding the field of craftsmanship by encouraging young talents to develop new perspectives on traditional craftsmanship, as well as exploring new applications.

Artist Yang Yoo Wan primarily uses the blowing technique, rolling up the glass liquified in 1,250 degrees at the end of a blowpipe and inflating it by mouth. Breaking from the conventional method, she attempts to create new forms by using the flowing properties of molten glass. Through a reinterpretation of combination of various materials into a Korean style, she embeds the traditional and modern beauty into her glass crafts.
