Modern society is enriching various content areas day by day, and interest in utilizing leisure time is also increasing. The government's work system has increased the leisure time of office workers and led to evening life. There is also growing interest in pottery activities as part of career exploration and emotional stability of students suffering from overheated academic studies and creative brain activity. In the past industrialization era, demand for ceramic products mass-produced in factories was the main reason, but the value of handcrafting is now increasing and demand for ceramic products in workshops is steadily increasing. This study was conducted on Cheongju City to study the status of pottery workshops and ways to revitalize the pottery culture, as ceramic workshops are adjacent to the active areas.
In order to understand the characteristics of Cheongju citizens and the current status of ceramic workshops, the Cheongju Cultural Industry Foundation, and Cheongju Craft Biennale websites and related data collections were collected. Based on this, the government investigated ceramic-related support policy projects in Cheongju City and proposed ways to revitalize the ceramic workshop through in-depth interviews with experts in Cheongju City.
According to the research results, most of the ceramic workshops are operated in a single-person system, so the various roles of education, production, distribution, and sales of the workshops are different.
It was difficult to handle alone. In this regard, it is necessary to facilitate communication with Cheongju-si institutions by expanding various channels of content, distribution, and sales and forming a network between workshops. Also, during the Cheongju Crafts Biennale with visitors to the cultural manufacturing window where the Korean Crafts Museum is located as a way to revitalize pottery workshops, it is necessary to produce promotional materials to guide local residents about the workshop program and encourage them to participate in the Cheongju support policy project.
