Traditional Korean Onggi Pots | The steps for making them | Guinness World Record of the Largest Onggi ever made

in #qurator17 days ago

The weather was blisteringly hot again so we stayed indoors most of the time. This time we visited a traditional Korean pottery museum. It's not that much fun for the kids as they see it as mostly pot after pot after pot, but I need to keep myself entertained too. Also, I wanted to see a Guinness World Record pot. So off we headed to the museum.

We were treated to this amazing artwork showcasing two huge pots.

As we entered the museum we were notified that there was an activity starting right at that moment and if we would like to join we are more than welcome. So we headed down the toasty road that was beautifully decorated to another building. Pots, pots, pots...

Coloring small clay stones to make a kind of win chime, his trusty truck right there to help out.

I believe they fire up these old-style ovens to get the pots made and cured.

Just so many pots everywhere...

Loved the random art on the building as we walked back to the museum.

They had a cute little shop where you could buy some souvenirs, spot the little pisser. LOL

As we approached the entrance for a second time I got to take some pictures of the art right outside the door.

The kids not giving a damn about the pots and care more for the helicopter flying by, so I snapped a quick pick of it.

We then saw a little pond with some rather big Koi in it. The kids loved this.

A cool feature they had that showed the real pots of a long time ago, once again. Pots and kids don't mix, they were more concerned about not walking over the glass.

There you have it folks, the largest handmade pot. Quite a bit taller than I am, I am guessing I can fit my whole family in there!

Once we viewed everything the kids were more than ready to head home or to any other destination that is a little more fun for them. Eager to leave my oldest was in the lead heading down the tunnel to the entrance.


Thanks for reading and see you again in the next one!
