Jiama Black Pottery Tile Cat Making
Tile cats, known as “wamao” in Mandarin, can be commonly seen dotting the roofs of traditional home’s in Yunnan’s Dali region.
Tile cats can be easily recognized by their characteristic round and piercing eyes and gaping mouths. Regarded as a symbol of good luck, tile cats have gradually faded from public sight due to rapid urban expansionism.
Our tour will take us to a local Jianchuan black pottery making master for a hands-on workshop. The pottery creations need to be dried and fired in the kiln, and it takes up to a month when they are ready for use. At the end of tour, you are allowed to pick a ready-for-use product of the same price to take home.
His black pottery uses all-natural raw materials and 17 to 18 manual processes, deliberately slowed down to ensure the natural environmental protection of black pottery to the greatest extent.
