He continued, "At the opening ceremony, water from Yeoju, soil from Icheon, and fire from Gwangju came together to create a magnificent performance where a single ceramic piece, embodying the spirit of the potter, was completed," and promised, "Like ceramics that unite as one, Gyeonggi Province will take the lead in creating a world where we live together."
In particular, he asked for "much interest in the Gyeonggi Ceramic Biennale, where you can experience ceramic culture from around the world for 45 days."
