Blue and White Whispers: A Pottery Painting Retreat in Yilan

Hand painting a cat on a ceramic dish
Qipao fitting room with classic Chinese decor
In the lush greens of Sanshing, Yilan, a quiet invitation calls out — not through noise, but through clay, brush, and breath. This is not just a pottery class. It’s a slow ritual, a place where your mind unclenches and your hands rediscover intention.

Intro

Dadaocheng historic market street
Here, you'll create your own everyday ceramic plate, using the centuries-old technique of blue and white porcelain painting. With soft brushes and simple tools, you imprint patterns that speak to your inner child, your love for stillness, or maybe just your fondness for cats.
The workshop space itself is a poem — red-brick barn walls, wooden benches soaked in morning light, and laughter echoing under the open sky. Each station is prepared with care. Even the indigo-dyed aprons seem to say: 'Welcome home to your hands.'
You’ll be guided by experienced artisans from the local community. They don’t just teach technique — they share stories, of clay that remembers, of glazes that change with fire. Children paint faces, couples create matching bowls, solo travelers get lost in pattern. It’s more than making; it’s connecting.

When hands slow down, the heart speaks.
After your creation is finished, it will be carefully glazed and fired in a kiln. Then, like a letter from the countryside, your plate will be mailed back to you. By then, the rush of city life will have resumed, but a small part of you will have stayed here — in glaze, in memory.
Sanshing’s Four Seasons Pottery Experience is not about producing perfect art. It’s about imperfect joy. It’s about honoring slowness in a world obsessed with speed. It’s about saying to yourself, 'This moment, too, is sacred.'
