　　The Artist Residency Program of the International Academy of Ceramics (IAC), a UNESCO-affiliated organization, officially commenced in Yanshen Ancient Town. The IAC has gathered top-tier ceramic artists from around the world, inviting seasoned ceramicists from multiple countries to engage in creation and exchange in Boshan. The ancient town features well-arranged Qing-style tile courtyards, while art workshops transformed from old kiln factories are spacious and bright, providing overseas artists with comprehensive creative facilities. The international ceramicists immersed themselves in the workshops, meticulously kneading clay, shaping forms, and mixing glazes to refine their original works. They brought contemporary ceramic concepts and techniques with distinct regional characteristics, experiencing the millennia-old traditions of ceramics and glassmaking in Boshan. Through hands-on creation, they exchanged craftsmanship and sparked artistic inspiration. The overseas artists interpreted Yanshen ceramic culture from a creative perspective, telling the intangible heritage stories of the ancient town to international audiences. These diverse artistic approaches also infused new vitality into local traditional craftsmanship, transforming this thousand-year-old pottery town into an international cultural exchange hub that connects global ceramics and blends diverse artisanal spirits.
