Jin Hongyang's Legacy in Celadon Artistry 🌸

She studied at the Celadon and Sword Design Technician Institute (2018) and Zhejiang Electromechanical Vocational Technical University (2021), graduating in 2023 with a major in product design. Her grandfather, Jin Pin, an heir of Longyao kilns, inspired her lifelong dedication to traditional celadon-making techniques.

Mastering Longquan Celadon Techniques 🔧

Since age 15, Jin trained rigorously under master potters and kiln experts.

Her passion and fidelity to the craft are evident in every piece.

Economic Revitalization and Media Coverage 📺

In 2015, Jin joined her father, Jin Chaojun, in integrating homestay tourism, kilns, cultural study programs, and dining into a village-led economic revitalization model in Baoxi. Their model became a self-sustaining ecosystem leveraging craft heritage for community prosperity. Jin's work has been featured by major media outlets, including CCTV’s Ceramic Journey and Taiwan’s China Journey.
