Shuishui Kiln

Shuishui Kiln is renowned for its 'white immortal clay' and brick-built wood-fired kilns. 'White immortal clay' is a rare, high-quality clay highly suitable for pottery making. In the early days, there was a 'Huizi Kiln' in Shuishui that produced daily pottery, but it closed down after plastic products became available. After the 921 Earthquake, with the assistance of the National Taiwan Craft Research and Development Institute, residents established a community pottery classroom and rebuilt 'Shuishui Kiln.' Although it cannot fully replicate the scale of the former 'Huizi Kiln,' 'Shuishui Kiln' has now become a popular leisure destination for many pottery enthusiasts. The pottery produced by Shuishui Kiln is completely unglazed. Because it's unglazed, the oxidized ashes produced after the wood fuel burns down directly adorn the pottery, creating a myriad of appearances, making each finished product unique and highly distinctive. In addition to the beauty of the ash glaze from the wood-firing process, the high-quality clay also gives the finished products a richer variety of colors, in no way inferior to glazed pottery. Visitors can enjoy the fun of DIY pottery making in the quaint pottery classroom and fire their own unique ceramic art.
