My system is not decent

Chapter 543 Craftsmanship is the Most Valuable
In order to make a satisfactory work, it is necessary to base on the skillful drawing technique, coupled with a high degree of coordination of the whole body including the brain, hands, and feet.

Chen Wenzhe is proficient in movements, so it is not difficult to make bowl embryos, but he needs quantity, so this time Chen Wenzhe made dozens of them very simply.

Next is the plate, which requires a little skill, at least not pulling and pressing at will.

To make a plate, first put a kneaded dough ball on the turntable.

Turn the drawing machine, gently pat the mud balls, and pat the mud balls on the center of the turntable as much as possible, and pat them into a cone shape with a small top and a big bottom.

Next, wet your hands with water to lubricate the surface of the mud cone for lubrication

Use the heel of the palm of your left hand to apply force from the outer edge of the lower part of the mud cone to the center of the mud ball and lift it upwards at the same time.

Use the four fingers of the right hand to reach the palm of the hand, and apply force to the center of the mud ball opposite the left hand, and lift it upward at the same time. The force is applied evenly with both hands, and the lifting speed is consistent with the rotation speed of the turntable.

After the mud cone is raised, press the top of the mud column with the thumbs of both hands to level the top of the column.

At this time, the elbows are fixed on the legs, keeping them straight and stable.

Press the mud ball with the right hand, stabilize the mud ball with the left hand, and push the mud ball toward the center of the turntable at the same time, repeat several times to find the center.

After finding the center, make the mud column thick and stable and open, and open the mud column.

The next step is to lift the cylinder, making the holed mud column into a cylinder shape. The cylinder shape is required to be straight and the wall thickness of the cylinder is uniform.

The last thing is to make various shapes, and the plate is special. When lifting the cylinder, it should not be lifted too high, but should be stretched outward as far as possible to form a flat plate wall. This is a one-time forming technique.

In fact, it is not difficult to make bowls and plates, just be careful and slow down.

Embryo making is all this routine, and it is not difficult for Chen Wenzhe.

In this step, the most important thing is to make the mud. As long as the mud is mixed well, there is no problem at all in making the embryo.

Therefore, in the whole process of making porcelain, mud is very important. The first step must be to rub out the air bubbles in the mud to increase the density of the mud.

Of course, Chen Wenzhe's kombu level is also at the master level, and he is now on the road to become a master.

After making forty or fifty plate embryos, the plate is even better, and this is a small plate.

Chen Wenzhe doesn't pursue style, just the same, because it is the same set of things, most of the color changes.

Therefore, the next painting is the most important. As for the glaze, he directly uses white glaze.

Only white glaze can set off the exquisiteness of various colors.

As for the color materials, he has specially made gem colors.

Without using copper red, it would be too troublesome to fire. He just wanted to try the gem color material he made.

If there is a chance, he even wants to experiment with mixing gemstone glaze directly.

A large number of utensil embryos have been produced. At this time, the bowl embryos that have just been produced have almost dried up.

After all, in his studio, the temperature is not bad, and with some special measures, the drying speed is relatively fast.

Of course, Chen Wenzhe can make up for it even if it's still a bit dry, but at most, it's just a matter of being careful when engraving.

Before engraving, it is natural to sharpen the embryo first.

Sharp embryos are actually rough trimmed embryos. If you are very confident in your craftsmanship, you don't need to use sharp embryos.

But here, Chen Wenzhe strives for excellence.

For example, he wants to make a batch of small bowls with thin tires. This is for his little niece, try to be as light as possible, otherwise, it will be too heavy for his little niece to hold.

Therefore, profit embryo becomes the key.

And it still depends on the porcelain clay, the porcelain clay is not well mixed, and it is easy to break when the embryo is sharp.

Try to be as thin as possible, but also need to ensure that the small bowl does not deform, this is the technology.

It is even more difficult to engrave the small bowl that has been made as thin as paper after the embryo is finished.

If you are not familiar with it, with just a simple stroke, the carving knife will pierce the small bowl, which will waste an embryo.

For Chen Wenzhe, carving is naturally not difficult.

What's more, he has been influenced by Master Lu Zigang's craftsmanship today.

Stones from other mountains can be used to attack jade, and the method of carving jade is more convenient and quicker when used on carving mud tires, and it is also simpler.

Carved flowers are really carved flowers, all kinds of flowers.

A small bowl with a lotus carved on it is a small bowl with a lotus pattern, and a thin bowl is a small bowl with a thin lotus pattern.

If it is pastel, it is a small bowl with thin-bodied pastel lotus pattern, and the naming of porcelain is as simple as that.

Of course, Chen Wenzhe has not only pastels, but also five colors, fighting colors, carmine, and even enamel colors.

These need to be done step by step. He first made simple pastels and multicolored.

For example, a small lotus bowl can be made into pastels or multicolored.

Pastels are more beautiful, and colorful ones are also available, but they are more cumbersome.

Since the pursuit of speed, it is made into pastels, so that the colors used can be more monotonous.

Next, as long as chrysanthemums, peonies, peach blossoms, and roses can be thought of, as long as they are beautiful, Chen Wenzhe can describe them at will.

Anyway, he didn't want to make a very special set of porcelain, such as a set of four seasons, so he chose beautiful ones and made them at will, anyway, for his own use.

It can be said that in this process, it is also a fusion of his skills.

For example, peach blossom, which involves water point peach blossom technique!
This technique comes from Mao porcelain, but it is not Mao porcelain made in [-], but the real [-].

In the red official kiln, Mao porcelain is no longer a synonym for porcelain for Chinese people, but a red memory of youth and life for a whole generation.

The so-called "Mao Porcelain 7501" is the abbreviation of "Porcelain for Great Men" developed in 1975.

In 1975, it began to design and fire a set of special porcelain for the great man, which represents the highest level of Chinese porcelain making technology.

Because the great man loves peach blossoms all his life, Mao porcelain 7501 water point peach blossom is one of the most artistic and topical porcelains among Mao porcelains.

It's a pity that Chen Wenzhe only got a small spoon with peach blossoms from the first collection, and that one was given to the gold medal pawn.

It was only after he upgraded his skills that he could go backtracking and learn the craft of making the Peach Blossom Spoon.

And this is fine, after all, craftsmanship is the most valuable, and now Chen Wenzhe is also beginning to try to learn this top-level craftsmanship.

The more he learned, the more cautious Chen Wenzhe was about some of the inheritances he had received.

For example, water point peach blossom, he is a technique invented in modern times, and there are still inheritors up to now.

And the current inheritor is very famous.

Even the water-point peach blossom technique already belongs to the intangible cultural heritage.

Therefore, even if he got this inheritance, Chen Wenzhe had never used it before.

Not afraid of anything, but unnecessary.

Even if he wants to do it now, he will only make a batch and plan to use it for himself, not for profit, such as selling high imitations like the first collection.
