A Blue Revolution in Jingdezhen

This month (October) I spent working in Jingdezhen, China.
I made the design for the exhibition Jingdezhen - Delft: The bleu revolution in the Imperial Porcelain Museum in Jingdezhen, and I also designed the booth for UNIC (The UNIC project is a network of 10 European partners that share a common industrial and cultural heritage built around a strong ceramics tradition)  at the Jingdezhen International Ceramic fair, this year hosted by Delft and Limoges.
It was an amazing time, and especially great to work with Chinese Carpenters, Printers, Museum curators translators, archaeologists and more.
Many thanks to Adriaan Rees, projectleader, Ronald Brouwer curator and Steven Jongma, head of the archaeology department of Delft.

Down here are some links to websites about the Blue revolution in Jingdezhen.
