Icheon

Icheon (South Corea) is known as a center of South Korean ceramic manufacturing and is a UNESCO Creative City (for Crafts and Folk Art).

Icheon plays a key role in developing modern ceramics and in handing down traditional Korean ceramics, an ancient art going back over 1,000 years, from one generation to the next.

The city hosts ceramic-related events, such as the Icheon Ceramic Festival and the Icheon International Sculpture Symposium.
