Overview
The Gyeonggi Ceramics Biennale features a range of exhibitions and educational events. The event takes place at various locations in Korea famous for ceramics, including Icheon, Yeoju, and Gwangju.
Why go
The Gyeonggi Ceramics Biennale brings exhibitions and educational programmes to Gyeonggi-do's ceramics heartland, spread across Icheon, Yeoju, and Gwangju. It's organized by Gyeonggi-do and runs from 18 September to 1 November 2026, centered on areas known for centuries of Korean pottery craft.
Getting there from Seoul
The festival spans three separate towns in Gyeonggi-do — Icheon, Yeoju, and Gwangju — so decide which venue(s) to visit before setting out. Icheon and Yeoju are reachable by intercity or express bus from Seoul's Dong Seoul Terminal (roughly 1–1.5 hours) or by train on the Gyeonggang Line; Gwangju is accessible by intercity bus or commuter rail from Seoul as well.
Tips
- Pick one venue per day — Icheon, Yeoju, and Gwangju are separate towns, not walkable from each other
- Buy the combination ticket in advance if possible; on-site price is 11,000 won (7,000 won discounted)
- Visit between 10:00 and 18:00, as that's the daily operating window
Best for: families, ceramics enthusiasts, photographers, day-trippers from Seoul.
