Gimhae Buncheong Ceramics Festival

The Gimhae Buncheong Ceramics Festival celebrates Gimhae’s long tradition of Buncheong ware, which flourished in the region during the early Joseon dynasty. Now in its 31st year, the festival offers a closer look at the distinctive style and craftsmanship of Gimhae Buncheong through exhibitions, a ceramic market, pottery-making activities, and demonstrations. Visitors can see a wide range of works by local ceramic artists, purchase pieces, and try their hand at making their own pottery. All of this makes Buncheong ware easy and enjoyable to explore. The festival also features activities, performances, and special events for children and families, so there is something for visitors of all ages. At every turn, it shows how traditional ceramics can remain part of contemporary life.
