Jin Hongyang: Hand-Carved Elegance

✨ Jin Hongyang brings traditional Longquan celadon to modern elegance. Born in 2003, she studied at the Celadon and Sword Design Technician Institute and Zhejiang Electromechanical Vocational Technical University. Graduating in 2023, she majored in product design. Her grandfather, Jin Pin, an heir of Longyao kilns, trained her in traditional celadon-making techniques.

Masterful Practice

Jin trained rigorously under master potters since age 15. She mastered Longquan celadon production, including mountain clay selection, manual wheel-throwing, glaze mixing, and ceremonial firing. Her expertise extends to traditional wood-fired dragon kilns and reopening kilns to retrieve wares. Her passion and fidelity to the craft are evident in every piece.

Economic Revitalization

Since 2015, Jin has integrated homestay tourism, kilns, cultural study programs, and dining into a village-led economic revitalization model in Baoxi. Their model, "kiln ware, tea service, guest hosting, and lodgings," became a self-sustaining ecosystem. Jin's work is featured in major media outlets, including CCTV’s Ceramic Journey and Taiwan’s China Journey.

Cultural Export

Jin actively livestreams and markets wood-fired Longquan celadon on TikTok, advancing cultural export and rural revitalization. Her enterprise provides jobs for elderly and disabled residents and hires local university graduates, promoting equitable community development. Jin organizes a dragon kiln opening ceremony annually, inviting tea enthusiasts and collectors.

Awards and Recognition

Jin's work "Summer Lotus" was featured at the Zhejiang Celadon Global Tour exhibition in Cairo, Egypt. It won Bronze at the 12th China Ceramic Art Exhibition in 2022. "Summer Lotus" was acquired by the China Cultural Center in Cairo in 2023. Jin was named Zhejiang Provincial Outstanding Graduate & top work award at Zhejiang Electromechanical University in 2023.

International Success

In 2024, Jin participated in Jiangxi TV’s Chinese Ceramics Gala, producing "Vision," a perfect sphere for a Kazakh ophthalmologist named Mr. Bilek. This work was selected through rigorous evaluation and presented as a Chinese national gift. Jin's sales reach approximately US $50,000 per livestream, making overseas sales a major channel for her studio.
