Established in 1984, Hongik University Ceramic Research Center boasts a 40-year history. Our primary mission is to advance the fields of ceramics through scholarly research on both Korean traditional and contemporary ceramics. The Center aims to foster international exchange of academic and artistic ideas through exhibitions, programs, and academic publications. Our notable accomplishments are as follows: First, the Center organized Korean traditional ceramic exhibitions and workshops for 1988 Olympics Arts Festival and Jinro International Ceramic Art Show(1991~1997). Also, we have been conducting international art exhibitions such as Korean-Japanese International Art Show(2004) and Korean-Chinese-Japanese Contemporary Ceramics Exhibition(2007) to support Asian Ceramicists. Such endeavors suggested a new paradigm and allowed young artists to expand abroad. Secondly, we have been producing academic publications including <Contemporary Ceramics – The Movement Towards Future>(1993) and <Korean Ceramics>(1995) as well as managing large volume of academic archives and documenting ceramics events since the 1980s. Finally, we pursue collaborations with various institutions such as Korean Ceramics Foundation, KCDF, and Clayarch Kimhae Museum to further interact with the society. We co-organized the International Ceramics Exposition with Gyunggi Ceramics Foundation, participated in 2021 Crafttrend Fair with Seodemun Welfare Center, and have been conducting workshops for children with intellectual disabilities since 2022.
