Visitors learn each step of the process of creating a Cizhou vessel like those in the museum’s collection as they throw the clay then color, paint, glaze, and fire it. Intermixed with video footage of artisans demonstrating techniques, the extensive 3-D visualizations in the activities let visitors make their own creative decisions to particularize their vessel throughout each stage. By balancing learning with creativity, this rich-media module engages diverse learning styles and helps make objects in the collection portals of discovery.
