Today - Sept 26. We took a little field trip to a town called Tianbo. We visited a pottery where they produce roof tiles and different size jars. The workshop is called Tianbo Pottery, it is more of a historical site now a days and not much of a production site. Because of the advent of materials like plastic, most of the rural potteries are gone.
The dragon kiln (picture #1) is huge (180 feet), it takes over 4000 large jars and countless roof tiles to fill it. In its hay day Tianbo Pottery fired this kiln once a month.
On the way home we bumped into this brick making factory. All in all the trip was so fun. As a group we are becoming better friends, and having more fun because of it. Leaving the city was also very satisfying, it is hard not to smile a lot with fresh air, good company, and beautiful scenery. |
