Icheon Ceramic Festival

[1][2][3] Icheon, Gyeonggi-do, has been a valuable city for ceramic arts since the Bronze Age.

A variety of South Korea's finest ceramics such as Cheongja (celadon porcelain), Baekja (white porcelain) and Buncheong (grayish-blue powered celadon) are exhibited in this festival.

[1][3] The first Icheon Ceramic Festival was held at the event area of Seolbong Hotel in the form of small scale ceramic market.

During the time, revenue of the festival was only 20 million won.

It was a small-scaled local festival due to insufficient budget and low participation of ceramic artists.
