水里蛇窯簡介
水里蛇窯位於南投縣水里鄉，創建於西元1927年，是全台保存最完整、最古老的柴燒窯之一。窯身蜿蜒如蛇，長達31公尺，為早期燒製日用陶器的重要窯場。園區融合傳統陶藝與觀光休閒，遊客可參觀古窯、文物館，欣賞南投陶的發展歷史，也能親手體驗拉坯、捏陶、彩繪等創作樂趣。園區內陶林藝廊不定期展出國內外陶藝家作品，並設有特色伴手禮與陶藝餐飲，將「賞土、玩土、吃土」一次滿足。每年舉辦的窯神祭更是地方盛事，結合表演、工藝市集與祈福儀式，展現百年窯場的文化魅力與生命力。Shueilii Snake Kiln, located in Shueili Township, Nantou County, was established in 1927 and is the most well-preserved wood-fired snake kiln in Taiwan that is still in operation today. The kiln’s body stretches 26 meters in length, winding like a snake, and was once an important site for firing everyday pottery. The park combines traditional pottery craftsmanship with tourism and leisure; visitors can tour the historic kiln and museum to learn about the history of Nantou pottery, and personally experience pottery-wheel throwing, hand-building, and painting. The on-site Taolin Art Gallery regularly hosts exhibitions by both local and international ceramic artists, and the venue offers unique souvenirs and pottery-themed dining, delivering the full experience of “appreciating clay, playing with clay, and tasting clay.” The annual Kiln God Festival is a major local event, featuring performances, craft markets, and blessing ceremonies that showcase the cultural charm and vitality of this century-old kiln site.
