Hui Gu Pottery Village Introduction
Beside the Miaoli Route 48, there is a red-brick house with a small outdoor garden adorned with colorful wish wind chimes. Whenever the mountain breeze visits, the crisp chimes ring gently, creating a melodious greeting to the wind, and seemingly welcoming every friend who comes to visit "Hui Gu Tao Yi"—yes, this charming place, filled with romantic creativity and a symphony of happiness, covers an area of over 2,000 ping. Hui Gu Tao Yi was co-founded by the couple Dai Zhi-Ting and Chen Yi-Tzu. Since Ms. Chen was a ceramic painter in Yingge, the exhibition space of Hui Gu showcases numerous elegant blue-and-white porcelain pieces, ranging from early hand-painted blue-and-white porcelain to pottery creations. Hui Gu Tao Yi is one of the few kilns in Taiwan that has both pottery and porcelain manufacturing capabilities. Its contemporary pottery creations are quite popular among the public! For instance, during the tung flower season, item series such as tea sets and wall clocks feature elegant and simple designs, beautifully showcasing the charm of the tung flower, making them irresistible! In addition to exhibiting various creatively designed pottery and porcelain, the park also opens the kiln for observation and plans various DIY teaching activities, including painting wind chimes, tableware, tea sets, and flower containers, as well as courses in hand-formed pottery, slip casting, and pinch pots. These enriching and fun activities allow visitors to fully enjoy the joy of creation and immerse themselves in the intellectual world of pottery art.
