CERAMIC VILLAGE

Since the Joseon Dynasty, this city has become the major centre for the creation of traditional pottery and ceramics produced in the country. Nearly 80 workshops are still in operation there. This village is also famous for its white porcelain factory called Ijo Baekja. Many efforts have been made since the beginning of the century to keep alive this art which was once in great decline. The intrigued visitor can fully follow the long process of making these celadons, from modelling to firing.
