Press Time:2020-11-29 Viewed:

China has been the homeland of pottery and porcelain since time immemorial. When Marco Polo brought the very first porcelain back to Europe from the Yuan dynasty, Chinese porcelain has enjoyed the high reputation in foreign countries. Today, we visited JINRI POTTERY to feel the warmth of mud and to experience the sincere content and charm of Chinese traditional culture with our devoted hearts. 



Guiding international students from all over the world, we set off and arrived at our destination at 1 PM. Above all, the teacher introduced the basic procedure of how to make a simple craft, which can de divided in to the following few steps: rubbing, shaping, printing, trimming, drying, carving, glazing, kilning, and finally make a pottery successfully.


The following period, teacher showed us how to shape the pottery, which is recognized as the very beginning of the process that a pile of mud becomes a pottery being. It is on the machine where the mud was reborn, thanking to the teacher’s exquisite skill.


With the machine whispering that driving the turntable to rotate rapidly, the mud on the plate was shaped into the delicate forms that we wanted by giving it a little force with both hands. After seeing it, the students all itched for a try.





With the guidance and help given by the teacher, the students got started one after another. Shaping the pottery, rolling the mud stick, polishing, carving and so on. Every special story that belongs to the owner was hidden into the work. With the creation of special complex, everyone gained a unique work that belongs to themselves.




After the perfect ending of this event, the students took pictures and went back to school safely.AIU will bring a series of marvelous events like tea ceremony, trip to National Museum and acrobatic performance to you in the next move. Please do look forward to the follow-up articles of AIU!
