The Pottery Workshop (PWS) is a ceramic art education center established in Hong Kong in 1985. Since it's beginning, new locations have been created in Shanghai and Jingdezhen. Each Pottery Workshop location is unique. The Hong Kong location specializes in classes for adults and children. Shanghai also offers lessons, as well as produces much of our ceramic ware. Jingdezhen is our biggest location, and invites artists from all over the world to its residency. The Pottery Workshop Jingdezhen is an international ceramics center focusing on the development and enrichment of ceramics in China and abroad. Artist Residency, Education Center, Creative Market, Mufei Gallery and our Cafe Shop make up The Pottery Workshop Jingdezhen. The Pottery Workshop is surrounded by hundreds of small, independent craftsmen and artists. Clay producers, throwers, sculptors, mold makers, blue & white decorators, glaze shops, public kilns, brush makers, blacksmiths, and box makers are only a sampling of the craftsmen working in our community. Our modern facilities, bilingual staff as well as being located in the "Porcelain Capital" offers a unique experience found nowhere else in the world.
