The art of porcelain-making reached its pinnacle
during the Ming and Qing dynasties of ancient China. The
Ming Village allows visitors to own a little bit of this
colourful history. It makes excellent reproductions of the
finest pieces of that era using age-old techniques. Here,
the complete traditional process from mould-making and handthrowing
to glazing, hand-painting and firing is all housed under
one roof. Visitors can watch the craftsmen at work and choose
from an extensive selection of porcelain on sale.
Pewter-making classes and porcelain-painting classes are
also available. These classes are suitable for adults and
children aged 12 years or more. Bookings need to be made
at least 3 days in advance. Call Ming Village for details.
