In Ulju's Oegosan village, people have lived alongside earthenware for over half a century. We call them earthenware artisans. These artisans, who convey unique values across generations through earthenware, shape beauty from clay and breathe life into the vessels with the spirit of fire. The value of clay and fire, which came to them like destiny, is their very way of life, proving to themselves what a life of effort means. The earthenware, imbued with lives and destinies shaped by clay and fire, is a contemporary existence that reflects on ancient traditions, and a presence that makes future generations perceive our long history as a shining present and future. The story begins, told by artisans who have lived intensely with earthenware, of lives shaped by clay and fire.
