Through a unique linkage, West Virginia University has teamed to offer a
comprehensive study opportunity for students and the serious advanced or

experience and join us in the Imperial Porcelain Capital of Jingdezhen.
For the last 18 years, we have teamed to offer a study and travel program

to study with some of China’s most prominent teachers and ceramic artists.
Imperial Blue & White Porcelain Capital of Jingdezhen, Qin's Terra Cotta
Army, Ancient Capital of Xi’an, Great Wall of China, the Forbidden City in
Beijing, the hustle and bustle of Shanghai. Join us for an experience of a
lifetime!
China’s roots in ceramic art history are strong and deep. For thousands of
years, Chinese artisans have developed and mastered techniques and
artistry that has set the standard of excellence in ceramics throughout
the world. High fired porcelains, underglaze and overglaze
techniques, celadons, copper reds, temmoku, yao ware carving, ash glazes
and tri-colored lead glazes are just a few of the contributions made by
Chinese artisans over the centuries.
