3.2 九曲村和九曲烧（Jiuqu Village and Jiuqu Pottery Making）
Jiuqu is a small village at the foot of Tianma Mountain. We will visit a creative pottery making studio run by a life-loving artist named Dong Ye. More importantly, we will have a hands-on experience of pottery making, a traditional handicraft technique and a heart-soothing activity. (Note: It takes a whole week for a pottery to be completed, so we just need to do what we are supposed to do in the 3 hours, and leave the rest of work to be done by specialists and then sent to us.)
九曲是一个散淡的小村庄，位于天马山脚下。艺术家冬野醉心于缓慢生活和朴素哲学，搭建“九曲创意工场”，供志同道合的朋友们制陶-烧陶-品陶，玩味人生。我们将学习九曲烧工艺，并亲手制作属于自己的陶器一件。（注：九曲烧作品制作全周期需一周，因此后续工作由专业技师完成，再将作品快递至学员。）
