My system is not decent

In addition, characters in myths and legends, historical allusions, and folk tales can also be selected as themes for porcelain sculpture creation.

It is also very simple to make. After mixing the tire mud, you can pinch it casually to shape it successfully, and then modify it in detail, and you will be able to complete a statue in no time.

In fact, if you want to go faster, there is no way.

Because there are two kinds of production techniques for sculpture figures in Dehua Kiln, molding and kneading.

Molded characters are made by stamping the main part, and some are made of front and back parts or upper and lower parts.

Its head or hand is made separately, and after processing and modification, it is inserted and connected to form a whole.

Kneaded figures are directly pinched by hand. After the statue is formed, there are obvious traces of fingerprints.

Most of the insides of sculpture figures are hollowed out with knives.

On the basis of the formation of the rich body, the detailed decoration is mostly processed and depicted separately.

Such as Arhat's thick eyebrows and thick beard, Guanyin's treasured flower and Yingluo beads, etc.!

The most vivid thing is that there are small holes in the upper lip of some statues. After the glaze is fired, the real beard is glued on.

For the glazed parts, some feet are glazed all over the inside and outside, and some are glazed all over the outside, with the tires exposed inside and sand grains often sticking to the exposed tires at the bottom of the seat.

Chen Wenzhe doesn't use molds to make it, but just kneads the tire quickly, first roughly shaping it, and then modifying it with a carving knife.

In this way, his production speed will be faster, after all, he is more proficient in the use of knives.

Therefore, it only took him an hour to carve out six large and small statues, and it took him an average of 10 minutes to make one statue.

These statues are all [-] centimeters high, and each one has a different posture. With the finishing touch, they are similar in shape but different in spirit.

"Six statues should be enough!" Looking at the row of statues in front of him, Chen Wenzhe felt very satisfied.

Next, he began to adjust the glaze. There is more than one kind of white in Dehua white porcelain.

Although they are all white glazes, they have different effects after being blended and fired successfully.

"Ivory white" porcelain figure is a representative work of Dehua Kiln in Ming Dynasty.

Porcelain sculptures fired with "ivory white" have a particularly moist glaze color and strong texture, appearing beautiful and precious, with distinctive local characteristics.

Therefore, the first preparation must be the ivory white glaze color, and then the baby noodles.

Especially the baby noodles, which are not simple. It is not something that can be baked just by knowing the recipe.

These two glaze colors have their own characteristics, such as ivory white, which is white with yellow inside.

And Haier noodles, also called Haierhong, must be white and rosy.

Others include lard white, scallion root white, velvet white, and creamy white. As the name suggests, lard white is just like lard, and scallion root white is as white as scallion root.

With a golden finger, through backtracking, Chen Wenzhe can see many scenes of ancient kiln workers working.

And some secret recipes can be made as long as you look at them, at most you need to do a little research.

There is no need to practice these at all, because you know what kind of porcelain clay is used, how to fine-tune it, and after adjustment, what effect will be fired in the end.

These are all experiences that can be enhanced by looking at other people's experiences.

Chen Wenzhe really stood on the shoulders of his predecessors and continued to climb.

He can see other people's experiment process, and can learn from other people's experiences and lessons.

In this way, he only needs to walk the right path.

Therefore, he is still very confident in the various glazes he prepared.

However, the only uncontrollable factor is the difference between modern china clay and ancient china clay.

This Chen Wenzhe has no way to control it, so he also needs to experiment.

As for the portraits, it is enough to make six statues first, after all, they are experimental products.

Besides, simply doing sculpture is a bit boring.

What's more, he also needs to produce a batch of high-quality goods that can be sold to the Hangzhou Museum.

After thinking about it for a while, he has special skills in making blue and white glazed red porcelain, ruby ​​red glazed porcelain, white porcelain, and celadon porcelain.

Even now, twisted porcelain is added, but he has never made this kind of porcelain.

Don't worry now, since the white glaze is prepared, let's make a batch of white glaze porcelain first.

There are already experimental samples of Buddha statues, so I am making some ordinary porcelain.

Bafang bucket cup is the simplest white porcelain work. It is just a tea bowl, and the bowl wall is made into an eight-sided shape.

Then make a slightly more difficult one, let’s make a white glaze shop ear burner, which is a kind of incense burner.

There are not many complicated decorations, just two ears on both sides of the ordinary incense burner.

Pushou originally refers to the door knocker attached to the door with the animal face ring.

It was later used in the decoration of bronzes and ceramics such as bottles, jars, and pots.

Pushouer is a model made of an animal face ring, which is pasted on the utensils, and the ring cannot move.

The other is to paste only the animal face with a movable ring.

Bronze ware head decoration was popular in the Shang and Zhou dynasties;

Most of the pavement decorations of ceramics are celadon from the Jin Dynasty, and they were still used in the Qing Dynasty.

Therefore, what Chen Wenzhe made can be regarded as antique wares.

A step further than the white-glazed Shou'er furnace, and a more complicated process, is the bronze-patterned dragon-ear and animal-foot furnace.

It's complicated, but it's not that complicated, just change Pushou's ears into two small dragons as ears, and add some bronze patterns.

And these two kinds of incense burners can be made by drawing embryos, so the production speed is not slow.

For each of these works, Chen Wenzhe only made one piece, so in his hands, there are constantly new types of utensils appearing.

Finally, he also produced several strange types of utensils, such as the white-glazed beast-eared fish-shaped statue, the white-glazed Xiao, the white-glazed flute, and the white-glazed flat pot.

These porcelains, in fact, can imagine what they look like through their names.

For example, the fish-shaped statue with animal ears must be a kind of porcelain with the shape of a fish and two small animal ears.

Needless to say Xiao and Dizi, flat pots were created in the Yuan Dynasty. Chen Wenzhe had long wanted to make a batch of this kind of standard porcelain, but he didn't find the opportunity.

Now that it's done, he doesn't mind making a few more, because there are more skills that can be used above the flat pot.

You can paint on the flat pot, and you can use ink and color.

Black and white symmetry, black and white are distinct, this is ink color porcelain.

There must be a reason why Mocai porcelain is known as the "most special" porcelain in the Qing Dynasty.

The light ink is like gold, and the thickness is like ink. We must have seen it in our daily life.

Black is ink, alum is gold!

Ink color is one of the decorative colors of porcelain. It is mainly black, with color materials such as alum red and principal. It is made by drawing patterns on porcelain and baking in a color furnace.

Ink color was first used on multicolored porcelain in the Ming Dynasty, mainly used to outline decorative patterns, and was created and fired into ink color porcelain paintings during the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty.

Ink color is one of the common colors in five-color, enamel and pastel porcelain.

Therefore, although Chen Wenzhe did not specifically search for the formula of ink color, he can get the purest ink color material formula no matter from multicolored porcelain, pastel porcelain, or from chicken cups.
