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.
