Oegosan Onggi Village
In case you missed the photos, scroll down just a little bit and you’ll see the ones I took at Oegosan Onggi Village back in March. I took this adventure on my own to see if I could make it there! And I did. It took about 2 1/2 hours on the bus, but I did it!
Because I went on Sunday, I don’t think many of the artists were open and there weren’t any demonstrations going on, but it was so cool to walk around on my own either way. There were huge piles of smashed pottery all over the place and I noticed that many of the walls of houses and other buildings were made using the smashed pottery. #reducereuserecycle
After wandering for a little bit, I found the museum that went into great detail about the history of Onggi pottery in Korea. Pretty interesting! I liked how it spoke so much to the fact that pottery can translate so much about human history. People have used bowls, plates, and cups for a long time!
