About The Pottery Workshop:
Located in the heart of Jingdezhen, China, renowned as the ceramics capital of the country, The Pottery Workshop stands as a beacon of tradition and craftsmanship. Here, visitors have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the ancient art of ceramics, learning from master craftsmen and experiencing the magic of clay firsthand.
But The Pottery Workshop's story extends far beyond Jingdezhen. With branches in Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Dali, they have expanded their reach to embrace diverse cultural landscapes while staying rooted in their commitment to sustainability and innovation.
Building upon the rich heritage of Jingdezhen, The Pottery Workshop established Yi Design, their sister company, with a vision to revolutionize architecture and design. At Yi Design, they have taken on the challenge of ceramic waste, transforming it into the Permeable YiBrick – a sustainable solution for urban flooding and architectural design.
Through these interconnected ventures, The Pottery Workshop is not just preserving cultural heritage; they are shaping the future of sustainability in architecture and design. Join them as they explore the journey from tradition to innovation, and the pivotal role that both the pottery workshop and Yi Design play in this transformative narrative.
