Yingge is a town which possesses over 200 years of ceramic history; currently the town has begun focusing to develop the ceramic industry and tourism. The purpose of establishing the Ceramics Academy is to convert the Yingge town into a ceramics art learning center, to emphasize the industry energy and tourism vitality of Yingge ceramics. We not only hope to create product opportunities and value by industrial promotion, but also to construct tourist features by building a diverse learning environment.
