The Jingdezhen Ceramic University (Chinese: 景德镇陶瓷大学), in Jingdezhen city in the Jiangxi province of the People's Republic of China, is China's only institute of higher learning dedicated to the ceramic arts.[citation needed] The Jingdezhen area is historically significant in the development and production of Chinese ceramics; thus the university serves to link modern educational techniques and infrastructure with a source of ancient Chinese lore and tradition. Its prominent graduates include artists such as Jackson Li.
