　　Recently, Sophia and Eleanor, two foreign visitors from France, arrived in Boshan District of Zibo City—known as the "Capital of Ceramics and Glass." They embarked on an immersive cultural journey at the Boshan Ceramic and Glass Art Center, engaging deeply with ceramic craftsmanship and experiencing the unique charm of traditional Chinese handicrafts.

　　As soon as they entered, the two were captivated by the exquisite ceramic and glass artworks displayed in the exhibition hall. Smooth, jade-like porcelain and uniquely shaped glass ornaments shimmered under the lights. "C'est très joli!" (It’s so beautiful!) exclaimed Eleanor as she gazed at a lifelike glass piece, immediately taking out her phone to capture the moment. The guide shared insights into the history of Boshan’s ceramics and glass industry, telling the stories behind the exhibits and helping the visitors gradually uncover the artistic appeal of Boshan’s ceramic and glass art.

　　Later, Sophia and Eleanor moved to the hands-on experience area, where they eagerly tried their hand at clay wheel throwing. Tying on aprons and sitting at the pottery wheels, they carefully picked up the clay and began imitating the instructor’s movements to shape it. At first, the clay seemed uncooperative, often turning out uneven, but under the teacher’s patient guidance, the two gradually adjusted their hand positions and pressure, slowly mastering the basic techniques. As the clay took shape on the spinning wheel, they exclaimed, "C'est difficile mais très amusant!" (It’s challenging but so much fun!). Their faces lit up with focus and joy as they admired their creations.

　　"Smile!" With the click of the camera, the two foreign friends posed for photos with their ceramic works, their radiant smiles complementing their handcrafted “masterpieces.” Sophia shared, "This experience not only allowed me to engage with authentic Chinese traditional culture but also brought me the joy and satisfaction of creating with my own hands." She added that she would definitely recommend Boshan ceramics to more friends who love art.
