Workshop
Located in an ancient village a pottery workshop will be held, using traditional methods of the local people. The village has over 600 years of history and experience in producing pottery, from exquisite vases, to bowls and plates. Guests are also welcomed to get creative and choose to make something of their own! The pottery creations will be dried and fired in the kiln and shipped to the guests after a month when they are ready for use (delivery fee for shipping abroad is not included in the tour).
There are 30 preserved dragon kiln sites, five of which still use wood to keep burning. Throughout the small village you will find plenty of rammed-earth complexes as well as alluring cherry blossoms, blooming in the cold winter months.
