In the 1980s, as the Taiwan pottery industry waned, it became part of a multi-use art village system that combined cultural ceramics with tourism.
Three years later, we decreased the production of stone-ware and started to develope "Life Ceramic Art" series to build our own characteristic. We opened up the DIY Ceramic Activity for public at the same year.
In 1989, after finishing the constraction of "Ceramic Classroom", we officially included "DIY Ceramic Activity" in our service. |

| |
| As the "Life Ceramic Art" series and "DIY Ceramic Activity" went popular, we built a whole new Sales Center, sencond "Ceramic Classroom", large parking lot, "Fengziling Gallery" around 1990~1999. |
