Jingdezhen has had a major glow-up! Once a porcelain powerhouse for centuries, it's now rocking the global ceramics scene as a melting pot of artists, makers, and curious visitors. 🤩
At the recent Global Mayors Dialogue in Jingdezhen, Davide Agresti, vice mayor of Faenza, Italy, shared his excitement: "Making people from all around the world come together here in Jingdezhen and experience what has become a global movement for ceramics, for pottery and clay … that's a big achievement." 🌍🎨
Known as China's "Porcelain Capital," Jingdezhen in east China's Jiangxi Province has been crafting fine china since the Song Dynasty – about 1,000 years ago! Today, it's leveled up with pop-up studios, international residencies, and cool collabs between traditional craftsmen and street-style potters. It's like a remix that blends ancient skills with modern flair. 🔥
For young creatives from Dhaka to Denpasar, Jingdezhen is proof that art and culture can bridge borders. Whether you're a TikTok potter, a design student, or just vibing with aesthetics, the city's scene is pure inspo. It shows how heritage and innovation can vibe seamlessly.
Next time you sip from a sleek ceramic mug, remember the global friendships and traditions shaped in Jingdezhen. Clay never felt so uniting! 🙂
