History of Phu Lang Pottery Village

Phu Lang Pottery Village was established during the Ly Dynasty (11th century) and has since become a significant center for ceramic production.

Pottery-Making Process

Witness the fascinating process of creating Phu Lang pottery:

• Clay Preparation: The first step involves preparing the clay, which is sourced from local riverbanks. The clay is kneaded and shaped to remove impurities and achieve the desired consistency.
• Molding: Artisans shape the clay into various forms using traditional techniques such as hand molding, wheel throwing, and carving. Each piece is crafted with precision and care.
• Drying and Firing: The molded pieces are left to dry naturally before being fired in a wood-fired kiln. The firing process, which can take several days, gives the pottery its strength and durability.
• Glazing: Once fired, the pottery is glazed with unique mixtures that produce distinctive colors and finishes. The glazing process is an art in itself, requiring skill and expertise.
• Final Firing: The glazed pottery is fired again to set the glaze and enhance its visual appeal. The result is beautiful, high-quality ceramic products that are both functional and decorative.
