Seashui Kiln Introduction
Se Shui Kiln is known for its white clay and brick kiln. "White clay" is a rare high-quality clay that is very suitable for pottery production. In the early days, there was a pottery workshop named "Hui Zi Kiln" in Se Shui, producing everyday pottery, but it went out of business after plastic products emerged. After the 921 earthquake, residents, with the help of the National Institute of Traditional Arts, established a community pottery classroom and rebuilt the "Se Shui Kiln." Although it has not yet fully restored the scale of the original "Hui Zi Kiln," "Se Shui Kiln" has become a popular leisure destination for many pottery enthusiasts. The pottery produced by Se Shui Kiln is entirely unglazed, and due to the absence of glaze, it utilizes the oxidized ashes produced after burning wood to adorn the pottery with a myriad of appearances, making each piece unique and highly distinctive. In addition to the beauty of the ash deposition from the wood-fired kiln, the high-quality clay also allows for a richer variation in color, which is not inferior to glazed pottery. Visitors can enjoy the fun of DIY pottery in the quaint pottery classroom and create their own unique ceramic art.
