In this exhibition, artist Kim Oe-kyung expressed pear blossoms on naturally dyed fabric, artist Kim Eun-jin presented pear blossom images in pop art style, and artist Kim Jeong-ran combined pear blossom images with leather crafts.

Artist Yang Soon designed pear blossom patterns on indigo-dyed fans, artist Yoo Myung-hee created pressed flower artworks by drying pear blossoms, and artist Lee Shin-ae depicted pear blossoms on ceramics.

Additionally, visitors can enjoy pear blossom lamps made by artist Noh Eun-hee, and pear blossom patterned ties and wallets created by artist Kim Yoon-hee.

Kim Yoon-hee, head of the exhibition education team, said, “We hope many people will enjoy Naju culture while viewing the craftworks created by local artists inspired by Naju Bae.”
