Golden Dragon Kiln Introduction
Jinlong Kiln started with traditional pottery and primarily produces jars, water tanks, flower vases, and everyday ceramic items. Since its establishment over twenty years ago, it has evolved. In its early days, Mr. Li Yiwu came from Fuzhou to Taiwan to start the business, and it was later passed on to the second generation, brothers Li Mingzai, Li Zhaoqing, and Li Zhaochun, and now to the third generation, brothers Li Jinming and Li Rongguo. They continue to adhere to tradition, focusing mainly on manual shaping and modeling. The decorative ceramics industry, which rose in the 1970s, has nearly replaced traditional pottery, and recent industrial transformations have made it difficult for traditional pottery to find a survival niche. To achieve sustainable operations for the family-run kiln, Jinlong Kiln has sought breakthroughs and innovations, transforming from traditional water tanks and jars to creating modern and appealing lotus tanks, incorporating unique Hakka design elements into tableware and beautiful ceramic lamps. In this beautiful garden located in the deep mountains, visitors can personally experience the joy of working with clay, learn about the traditional pottery-making process through hand-kneading or hand-throwing, and create a unique piece of ceramic art.
