Gyeryongsan Pottery Village 계룡산 도예촌
Gongju · Gyeryongsan: Gapsa & Donghaksa · Fun & activities
A village of pottery studios that continues a local tradition of decorated stoneware. You can watch craftspeople at work and try wheel throwing or hand-building yourself, and pieces are fired later and collected or shipped afterward. Experience fees vary by studio, so ask when you book.
Reserve ahead, especially on weekends, since each workshop takes its own bookings and small group sizes. Couples and families like the activity, and finished pieces make personal souvenirs. A car or taxi is best, and parking is at the individual studios.
Allow about an hour and a half, and wear clothes that can get a bit of clay on them.
A car or taxi is best, about 30 minutes from Gongju. Parking at studios. (Show a driver: 계룡산 도예촌)
