Description:

Spend a refreshing day exploring Icheon Ceramics Village, a charming locale that acted as the center for traditional pottery for over 500 years. At the Korean Folk Village, you step back in time and observe artisans who continue to use time-tested methods of fabricating crafts.

Once you are picked up at your hotel, you head towards Icheon Ceramics Village, the hub of Korea’s pottery making during the Joseon Dynasty. This historic site has been built as a representation of the country’s culturally important ceramics culture, which has flourished for approximately 1,000 years. Wander throughout the 80 onsite ceramics workshops and watch traditional pottery making in real time.

Indulge in an authentic and delicious Korean lunch before visiting the Korean Folk Village. Explore 260 different recreated structures that have been built in the style of Joseon Dynasty-era architecture, each which each serves a different function. Here, you see villagers perform age-old ceremonies and artisans practice crafts like blacksmithing, weaving and pottery, just as they did many centuries ago.
