A blue-green color born from clay and fire
Gangjin is closely associated with the art of Goryeo celadon. At the Goryeo Celadon Museum, visitors can examine the subtle glaze, decorative patterns and the craft that turned shaped clay into ceramics. The Korea Tourism Organization's official guide describes audio and smart-device interpretation as well as an opportunity to work directly with clay in a celadon-making activity.
Exhibitions and workshops have different schedules
Looking at finished ceramics and then feeling the clay yourself offers two different perspectives on pottery. But the main museum, digital museum and hands-on workshop have different operating hours, including midday breaks. Do not assume that the museum ticket includes the pottery workshop fee.
