This charming little pottery studio-cum-store, which features ceramics from talented local
potters, has solved many a gift-giver’s dilemma. The emphasis here is on contemporary
interpretations of traditional ceramic forms (vases, plates, cups, urns, teapots). Many of the
creations are glazed with bold stripes or patterns, or cheeky images of Chairman Mao. With
nearly half the artists also teaching, inquire at the workshop if you’re interested in studying
ceramics with the workshop. They have studios in Hong Kong, Shanghai, Jingdezhen (China’s
ceramics capital) as well as the Beijing studio.
