Icheon City and Ceramic Technology Institute to Hold 'Icheon Ceramic Culture Market' from October 5 to 9

Promotion of Eco-Friendly Ceramic Tableware Usage
Exchange Waste Plastic for Ceramic Purchase Coupons

Gyeonggi-do Icheon City, in collaboration with the Korea Ceramic Technology Institute, will hold the "4th Icheon Ceramic Culture Market" for five days from the 5th to the 9th of next month to promote the use of eco-friendly ceramic tableware.

This event will take place at four locations: Ceramic Art Village (Yes Park), Sagimakgol Pottery Village, Everyone's Plaza at Icheon City Hall, and Icheon Deokpyeong Rest Area.

The "Icheon Ceramic Culture Market" is an event where consumers can receive coupons to purchase ceramics by bringing in disposable plastic tableware. The organizers will provide ceramic purchase coupons worth 5,000 KRW for every 300g of disposable plastic tableware. Each person can receive coupons up to a maximum of 25,000 KRW, and an additional 5,000 KRW coupon will be given for participating in social media (SNS) promotional events.

The coupons received can be used at Yes Park, Sagimakgol Pottery Village, the workshop booths at Everyone's Plaza in Icheon City Hall, and Icheon Ceramics (3rd floor of the main building at Lotte Premium Outlet).

During the event period, other activities will also be held, including "Artistic Autumn Walk," a ceramic discount sale event at Icheon Ceramic Art Village, "Ceramic Experience," a livestock product promotion event (Yes Park, October 7), and Raku kiln firing and wheel-throwing demonstrations (Sagimakgol Pottery Village and Everyone's Plaza at Icheon City Hall).

Kim Kyung-hee, Mayor of Icheon City, said, "We hope this event will help spread a culture of using eco-friendly ceramic tableware instead of plastic."
