Buncheong Sagi Establishes Itself as a Cultural Activity for Local Residents

[Goheung=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Shim Jeong-woo] The Buncheong Culture Museum in Goheung-gun, Jeollanam-do, announced that it successfully held the "9th Goheung Buncheong Ceramics Pottery Course Completion Ceremony" on the 2nd, conducted to continue the 500-year tradition of Goheung Buncheong culture and popularize ceramic culture.

The 9th Goheung Buncheong Ceramics Pottery Course was held over 16 weeks at the Hanok Multipurpose Experience Center within the Buncheong Culture Museum, with 40 local residents participating.

The course was divided into beginner (daytime), beginner (evening), intermediate, and wheel-throwing classes. Students who had completed the pottery course more than twice were placed in the intermediate class, while the rest were assigned to the beginner class, allowing for level-specific instruction.

The lectures included theoretical education on Goheung Buncheong ceramics and the creation of everyday pottery using seven techniques. The beginner class made practical utensils applying the basic theory and Buncheong techniques, while the intermediate class applied advanced theory and techniques to create various forms of Buncheong ceramics.

Participants at the completion ceremony said, "For the past 16 weeks, I always attended the course with an excited heart. Through this, I have come to better understand Goheung’s history and culture, and I will also promote it widely to people in other regions."

The Buncheong ceramics made by the pottery course students will be exhibited from July in the lobby on the 2nd floor of the Buncheong Culture Museum under the theme "Pottery Course Students’ Works Exhibition." The 10th Buncheong Ceramics Pottery Course will recruit students starting in July and begin in August.

A county official said, "We thank the students who participated with a love for Goheung’s cultural heritage, and we will continue to provide a better environment so that more local residents can take an interest in Goheung Buncheong ceramics."
