Mandarin Corner Explores the Art of Blue and White Porcelain

26/2/2025

On 21 February, Nottingham Confucius Institute (NCI) hosted its latest Mandarin Corner event, drawing over 40 University of Nottingham staff, students, and local residents to an engaging cultural session on Timeless Blue and White Porcelain.

Participants explored the history and significance of this classic Chinese art form, whilst learning art and porcelain-related Mandarin vocabulary . They also had the opportunity to practise their artistic skills, creating their own blue and white designs on vase-shaped cards. Check out the event highlights on our Instagram.

The event provided a hands-on experience, deepening attendees’ appreciation of Chinese culture while fostering language learning in a fun and interactive way.

NCI continues to offer Mandarin Corner as a platform for cultural exchange, welcoming learners of all levels to future sessions. The next event will take place on Friday 14 March. Find out more here
