About

Founded by the late Ji Sun-taek, who was a holder of Gyeonggi-do's Intangible Cultural Heritage, this kiln lets visitors see firsthand how ceramics are actually made, with facilities divided into a forming room, a carving room, and a kiln used as a drying room. In Doamdang, a separate building, visitors can also see a variety of wooden figures and masks once used for shamanic purposes. Today, Ji Sun-taek's eldest son, Ji Su-gu, carries on the tradition. Because pottery may not be made on some days, it is best to call ahead if you want to watch the process. As the work is open to the public, visitors are asked to keep quiet while viewing.
