Can a novice master the art of giant water urns in one week?
In short: Witness the rare skill of 80-year-old Master Jiang, one of Taiwan's final artisans capable of hand-building massive earthen pots with perfect dimensional precision.
The documentary follows Singaporean Chew Seow Phuang as he attempts to learn ancient pottery techniques from Master Jiang. While modern mechanization exists, the video explores the superior quality of artisanal methods used to create large-scale water urns. Master Jiang has spent over 50 years perfecting the ability to ensure each hand-built piece achieves identical dimensions.
