Xi’an: Hands-On Terracotta Warrior Sculpting Experience｜China

Create your own Terracotta Warrior sculpture from start to finish in this hands-on experience inspired by one of China’s most iconic archaeological discoveries.

This experience is guided by techniques connected to real restoration work. The founder, Han Pingzhe, joined the Terracotta Warriors excavation team in 1975 and later recreated the formation of Pit No.1, earning a national award for craftsmanship.

Begin with a short introduction to the history and structure of the Terracotta Warriors, then start shaping your own clay figure.

With step-by-step guidance, you will mold, refine, and bring your warrior to life — no experience needed.

Enjoy the process as you work with clay and recreate the form and spirit of these historic figures. This is not just a craft activity, but a meaningful and immersive experience that connects you with Chinese history through creation.

At the end of the experience, your finished Terracotta Warrior will be ready to take home as a unique handmade piece and lasting memory.
