Hello All: I am starting to plan a trip to visit my oldest son Nick who
is teaching in Korea. My wife and I will be going in late May, June.
That Nick is living in a country with such a great pottery tradition is
a dream.Can anybody give me some ideas on what to check out? It would be
truly appreciated Thanks

Hi Craig,
I am so envious! I had the joyous experience of spending 5 weeks in
Korea in the summer of 2002, visiting my brother and Korean
sister-in-law. There are many pottery-related destinations to chose from.
I recommend two in particular: numerous sites in and around Gyeongju City,
and the Gangin Celadon Material Museum in Gangin. I would be more than
happy to share my experiences with you and to pass along info that you might
find useful off-list.

I hope that if anyone responds, they will do so on the list (or send it to me too!). I
also have a son teaching in Korea.

I was in Seoul and nearby they have a traditional folk village you can visit
I think it is in Pusan. Also their main museum in Seoul has a lot of
incredible pottery. Average stores down small alley ways in Itae-won also
sell amazing pottery. Whatever you do, don't make the mistake of comparing
any similarities you see there to anything Japanese! But you probably
already know that, I was pretty ignorant of the history, so I stuck my foot
in my mouth several times before learning enough to get by in a very polite
society. Good luck!
