🌱 Gaolin Clay Sanctuary
The starting point: clay in Jingdezhen
“Porcelain life begins with the gifts from this land of Jingdezhen.
We carefully select high-quality kaolin, repeatedly settling and refining it to remove bubbles until it reaches a smooth and robust texture like chocolate.
This is the first foundation to ensure that your work does not deform or crack.” Every batch of raw materials undergoes strict selection, and only the purest and most plastic clay can enter our workshop.
We respect the gifts of nature and understand that this is the basis for creating exquisite porcelain.
🌀 Pottery Art Studio
Shape Giving: The Art of Balance in the Fingers
“Here, the lump of clay is given its initial form.
Throwing, is the creation where heart and hand unite; while trimming is the precise decision within the millimeters.
The thickness, arch, and weight of the object are all decided in this moment.”
Our master craftsmen, with decades of experience, can shape a common lump of clay into various elegant forms just by the touch of their hands and the power of their eyes on the rotating potter’s wheel.
Trimming is an even more demanding process, requiring immense patience and precision.
🎨 Underglaze Atelier
Depicting the Spirit: Without Regret on the Unfired Clay
“This is the first step of an adventure. The artists draw on the highly absorbent unfired clay, each stroke must be well-conceived, with no room for alteration.
The elegance of blue and white, the intensity of underglaze red, are eternally inscribed on the body of the piece at this moment.
Our team of artists has a profound traditional painting foundation and is skilled in various porcelain painting techniques.
Whether it is delicate flower and bird paintings, or freehand landscape paintings, they can bring these vividly to life on the unfired clay.”
🔥 Wood-Fired Kiln Area
Fired Clay: Creation in Harmony with Nature
“This is the heart of our workshop. After dozens of hours and temperatures exceeding 1300°C from pine wood fir, the glaze melts and the colors transform.
We respect the kiln fire because the ‘kiln change’ effect it brings is a natural wonder that modern kilns cannot replicate.
Each piece of wood-fired work is a unique WarmGifts.
Wood-fired kiln firing is an ancient and complex skill that requires kiln workers to judge the condition inside the kiln based on the flame color, temperature changes, and other experiences, and to feed the wood at the right time.
This dialogue with natural forces endows each piece with unique vitality and an irreplaceable charm.
✨ Overglaze Painting Studio
Overglaze Painting: The Final Touch
“After the first high-temperature firing, we obtained pure white porcelain. Overglaze painting provides a bigger stage for colors.
The delicacy of meticulous brushwork and the tenderness of soft color are layered here, endowing the objects with more magnificent and lifelike scenes.”
Overglaze painting is the finishing touch in porcelain decoration.
Our painters use various fine brushstrokes and rendering techniques
to add vibrant colors to the already-fired white, making the work present a more richly layered and artistic expression.
