About 200 folk artisans from 16 provinces and regions are displaying over 1,000 folk craft works. Some of the craftsmen are highly respected such as Jiang Rong, 83, who is good at making clay teapots. There is a story that a plate of clay fruit she once made was so vivid that it attracted mice which left teeth marks on the plate.
