This study developed and validated an experiential education model using 3D printing technology to improve accessibility to traditional Korean ceramics for the visually impaired. Four types of national treasure-
level ceramics—Buncheong ware flask with incised fish design, Celadon bottle with incised lotus scroll design, White porcelain bowl with inlaid lotus scroll design, and Moon jar—were reproduced through 3D
modeling and printing. Experiential education was conducted with 54 participants from Busan Welfare Centers for the Visually Impaired from September to November 2024. The survey results showed that 72.7%
of participants were highly satisfied with the program (M=3.92, SD=0.77), and over 89% reported no difficulty in tactilely understanding the overall shape and detailed structure of ceramics (M=4.45, SD=0.57;
M=4.23, SD=0.71). Furthermore, 77.8% evaluated that the 3D printed models were appropriately made for understanding forms (M=4.02, SD=0.81), and over 70.9% expressed willingness to participate in future cultural heritage experience programs (M=4.07, SD=1.20). This demonstrates that 3D printing technology is an effective tool for cultural heritage experiential education for the visually impaired and can contribute to
expanding cultural enjoyment rights. The study suggests that this approach can serve as a new paradigm for accessible cultural heritage education.
