✨ Jin Hongyang's Handcrafted Teacup ✨

Her dedication to traditional Longquan celadon-making techniques began at age 15, under master potters and kiln experts.

A Legacy of Craftsmanship

This includes mountain clay selection, manual wheel-throwing, glaze mixing, kiln reconstruction, pit-loading, ceremonial firing, and traditional wood-fired dragon kilns. Her passion and fidelity to the craft are evident in every piece.

Integrating Tourism and Culture

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. This approach leverages craft heritage for community prosperity, attracting media coverage and international attention.
