My system is not decent

Chapter 2 has the value of being old

From the selection of clay to firing in the kiln, every process of firing porcelain condenses the countless sweats of the craftsmen.

Zhang Youlan has already passed the stages of mud selection, mud training, and embryo pulling, and now she has begun to sharpen the embryos.

This level is not difficult, as long as you are bold and careful, and you are skilled, you can easily complete it.

The next step is the key point. Whether it is sculpture, painting, or even the seemingly simplest glazing and firing, it takes a long time to explore and experiment to accumulate experience.

Otherwise, it is absolutely impossible to make a qualified porcelain!

Although Chen Wenzhe is not a student of the Institute of Ceramics, he has worked here for more than two years, and many things are self-evident.

Coupled with his talent, he has a great reputation among many freshmen.

For example, Zhang Youlan, who is very talented, sometimes begs him.

This time Zhang Youlan made this big bowl, and she felt very satisfied, but she just didn't have enough confidence.

This required Chen Wenzhe to come over to help, because his touch is really good.

No matter what it is, as long as he touches it, he can clearly see the uniform thickness.

"It's not bad, but it still feels a little rough, not as smooth as expected!"

"When you cut the knife, you must be decisive and don't hesitate. This kind of awkward hand feeling is just hesitation, and it cannot be done in one go."

"However, it's not a big problem. After glazing, it should be covered up!"

Putting down the big bowl, Chen Wenzhe told the truth.

It used to be that he couldn't speak in such detail, but now it's different.

He has always inherited basic manufacturing, and he already knows a lot about porcelain making.

It turned out that it was just relying on talent, without the opportunity to work hard, and he did not possess the real craftsmanship.

But now it's different, he has learned a lot of knowledge about porcelain making in a short period of time, allowing him to be at a higher level than Zhang Youlan and guide her.

"I touch!"

"I also touched Zhang beauty's."

"Ha ha."

".work!"

The students don't need to learn or teach, and they have already cooperated very tacitly.

This kind of thing is almost a man's instinct, they are very proficient in punctuating sentences again.

The effect is not bad.

"It's amazing! If Senior Brother Chen doesn't say anything, I really can't feel the frustration."

"I'll try it too, it feels too slight, but with this experience, I will be more targeted in the future."

"You can pull it off, if it's really that simple, Professor Tao won't praise Senior Brother Chen."

"Senior Brother Chen, change your major. Your urban and rural planning major has no future!"

"I also want to change, but my family is poor and I really can't afford it. I can't afford the mud you play with every day, otherwise I wouldn't work and study every day."

In fact, Chen Wenzhe's family is not poor, but it is definitely not rich. Their family is just an ordinary family.

Ordinary people can't afford to go to art schools.

When I graduated from high school, I didn't know this, so I applied for the Grand Academy of Fine Arts.

At that time, the score was not enough, so he chose to accept the transfer, and then he was transferred to the major of urban and rural planning.

In this way, it can be regarded as a crooked attack.

A student of the Ceramics Institute burns money every day in class.

Not to mention other expenses, just a consumable, Chen Wenzhe couldn't afford it.

"Xiao Chen, it's almost time, clean up here, and you can go back!"

At this moment, a voice sounded that it was time for his work.

These students from the Ceramics Academy worked or studied day and night, and Chen Wenzhe didn't have time to accompany them all the time.

What should be cleaned up has already been cleaned up, and the only thing left is some fired porcelain.

"Brother Chen, don't you want these?"

When he came to Chen Xingchen's work area and saw the small blue and white pots on the workbench, Chen Wenzhe was very moved.

Going to art school and learning all kinds of techniques is burning money.

"No, I burned a kiln, and this is the only one that is not bad!"

Chen Xingchen played with the cricket pot in his hand, feeling very melancholy.

In fact, he was making his face swollen to pretend to be fat. There is not a single piece of particularly brilliant porcelain in his kiln.

For such a situation, Chen Wenzhe has seen a lot.

Looking at the work on the workbench, he found that what Chen Xingchen fired was a worm jar.

It's just pottery, not porcelain yet.

It's just that Chen Xingchen has a big heart, and the imitation is the cricket jar of the official kiln of the Qing Dynasty!
Making this thing is not easy, at least the soil used is not ordinary clay, but Yellow River mud!
The thousand-year-old Yellow River clear mud, not to mention the price, is just transported from the hinterland of Dongshan Province to Dahai City, and the price is not cheap!

For these students who play ceramics, such soil is consumed almost every day.

In addition to these, the glaze is also consumed!
Chen Xingchen used blue and white materials, imitating the Qing Guangxu blue and white cricket pots with twigs and flowers.

This is a cricket utensil. According to records, it began in the Southern Song Dynasty, and it was the most prosperous in the Ming Dynasty because of Emperor Xuande.

The Qing Dynasty also followed this trend, but there are few real objects in the world, so as long as they appear on the market, the transaction price will not be low!

It is because of this that Chen Xingchen copied it.

His imitation is not bad, the body of the can is straight, the mouth is slightly inward, and the cover is concave.

There are tangled branches of Western flowers on the outer wall, with blue and white Ruyi head patterns and lotus petal patterns painted on the upper and lower sides, and the cover is decorated with tangled flowers.

Except for the outer wall and cover surface, the other surfaces are all plain tires, which is conducive to raising crickets.

Such a cricket jar already has the value of being old!
Chen Wenzhe suddenly woke up, what happened to him just now?How could he have the urge to be old?
"Take it away! You can't sell it for much money!"

Such cricket pots, Chen Xingchen fired eight kilns if not ten kilns, and each kiln had at least a dozen pieces.

At the beginning, he was still thinking about selling it, but now he is almost desperate.

Chen Wenzhe is different, he is still very interested in these cricket jars.

You know, firing these small pots is not easy.

Not to mention the effort and hard work spent during the period, the material cost and the electricity cost of the electric kiln alone are a figure that scares Chen Wenzhe.

Looking at the four cricket jars on the table, Chen Wenzhe could only shake his head.

This is a real local tyrant, four pieces can be seen out of one kiln, and the others are all remnants. They must have been smashed by Chen Xingchen when they came out of the kiln.

Cricket jars are a niche plaything, not a high-quality product, and there is no market at all, let alone a modern imitation.

Therefore, every time the kiln was opened, Chen Xingchen would leave at most one piece, and the rest would be handed over to Chen Wenzhe.

Chen Wenzhe took out a convenience bag and put things in it casually.

"Senior Brother Chen, I'll leave if I have nothing to do."

"Ok!"

Chen Xingchen dealt with it in a daze, picked up the soft cloth on the workbench again, and gently rubbed the cricket jar.

Chen Wenzhe shook his head, these artists are crazy.

Just like Chen Xingchen, if he wants to be recognized by the market, he is crazy.
