Where to go and who to meet in the kiln city.

Old factory kilns reborn as studios, markets, and night life — the beating heart of the Jingdrifter scene.

A wooded valley of studios, wood kilns, and tea houses — where the mist and the clay come from.

Eight brick vaults sunk into the imperial kiln site, holding the shattered evidence of five centuries of court taste.

Working reconstructions of Ming kilns and the seventy-two trades — porcelain as live performance.

Morning market clay, afternoon commissions, night kiln gossip — the rhythm that pulls graduates back to the river town.

Seventy-two hours of fire, three days of cooling, ninety seconds of truth — inside a wood firing with Lin Haiming.
