Jingdezhen, is the birthplace of the word “China”. It is the literary home of the elegant scholar, and it is also the first stop of the documentary Let’s Go to China. A self-proclaimed China hand, Kevin met his old friend Phil here. Phil, a porcelain painting artist, led Kevin into the world of porcelain charm. Here, Kevin will learn about the blue and white (Chinese ceramic firing process) craftsmanship to experience ancient porcelain making and explore the porcelain kiln. In addition, Kevin will visit the contemporary porcelain capital to feel the cultural heritage. Don’t think that porcelain is just an old antique. There are many new ways to play from those of the post-1990 generation. Porcelain is not just a small ornament but an outstanding artwork which originated in Changnan, China. Let’s go with Kevin to Jingdezhen.
