Today, ceramic art has transcended its functional origins to become a vital form of contemporary expression. Jingdezhen, a city refreshingly free of corporate drudgery, nurtures creators from around the world with its unique cultural soil. In this episode, American host May takes us into the studios of two ceramic artists: Song Jinghui, born into a long-established porcelain family in Jingdezhen who seeks modern aesthetics through traditional forms; and Matt Watterson, an American artist who blends Eastern and Western cultures through ceramic furniture and installations. For them, what can porcelain become? Watch the video to find out.

Into Chinese Art is an immersive cultural interview series produced by China Daily Culture Channel, where international hosts engage with art experts through interactive discussions, offering audiences a deeper understanding of Chinese art and aesthetics. The fourth season of Into Chinese Art focuses on ceramic art.
