From Kilns to Cultural Collabs
Agresti praised Jingdezhen’s evolution from ancient craftsmanship hub to a buzzing international creative hotspot. 💡 "It’s a global movement," he told CGTN, highlighting how artists and entrepreneurs worldwide flock here to shape clay—and ideas—together.
Why It Slaps for Gen Z
