The Pottery Workshop
The Pottery Workshop (PWS) is a ceramic art education and communication center established in Hong Kong in 1985. Since it's beginning, four new locations have been created in Shanghai, Jingdezhen, Beijing and most recently Dali. Each Pottery Workshop location is unique. The Hong Kong location specializes in classes for adults and children. Shanghai also offers lessons, as well as produces much of our ceramic ware. Jingdezhen is our biggest location, and invites artists from all over the world to its residency.
What's more
