But the most important thing right now is to make mud tires first.

In fact, the current blue and white porcelain firing is not just a pure handmade way.

The production of blue and white porcelain porcelain belongs to a category of traditional ceramic production and forming technology in Jingdezhen.

Its production is to rely on the pottery car to draw the blank by hand to make a rough shape, and then use the pottery fan to form a regular production, which is a way to use a large number of daily porcelain production.

In recent years, advanced mechanical production methods have been gradually adopted, but handmade round ware still occupies a place.

Pure mechanical production undoubtedly increases the amount and speed of production, but it does not have the feeling of pure handmade!

This is also the reason why craftsmen are becoming more and more popular now!

In modern society, as long as it is related to this industry, whether it is jade carving, or ceramics, or ivory carving, or even wood carving, nuclear carving, etc., it is divided into machine carving and hand carving!

Even if it is hand-carved, it is divided into master carving and disciple carving!

Of course, it must be the master's hand-carved that is the most valuable.

The same is true for this blue and white porcelain, in Jingdezhen, the world's largest porcelain capital, machine production is definitely inevitable, but hand-carved also occupies a certain amount.

Especially the traditional old craftsmen like the Ouyang family are also resistant to machine firing.

So as soon as I looked at Xiao Zhang's hands-on techniques and feelings, I naturally had a good impression of Xiao Zhang!

Xiao Zhang had already begun to knead the mud at this time.

The purpose of kneading mud is to empty the air bubbles in the mud, so as to further tighten the mud.

If this process is missing, it is easy to have bubbles in the body, and if the body is too dry, it is easy to break and deform during firing.

This step is basically the same as Ru porcelain or Tang Sancai.

After all, there is basically no big difference in the early stage of the production of this mud tire.

Kneading mud is very crucial, and Xiao Zhang's strength and techniques are inherited from Ru porcelain and Tang Sancai.

From the current point of view, this Xiao Zhang's technique is completely at the level of a master or above.

Just one word, steady!

Ouyang Feng nodded with satisfaction and said, "It can be seen from this technique that this little doll is very strong." ”

"That's nature, Ouyang, haven't you seen this kid's Tang Sancai's works, that's amazing!" Hong Lao said with a smile.

"No, I won't look at Tang Sancai and Ru porcelain, that's his strong point, there's no point, those old guys are not stupid, they can't be the first in the country if they don't burn well?"

After a pause, Ouyang Feng continued: "Since this little doll didn't participate in this blue and white porcelain, it must be not as proficient as Ru porcelain and Tang Sancai, if you want to see this!"

"You're still bad!" Hong Lao secretly gave a thumbs up.

Both bad old men are bad!

......

Xiao Zhang quickly kneaded the mud here.

The second step is to start making the billet.

If the blank is made according to the traditional round ware of Jingdezhen, it is roughly the corresponding body according to the final type of the instrument for use in the later production of the blank.

Then the third part is the printing blank.

The rough billet should be dried in the natural shade after a certain period of time, and must be naturally dried in the shade under certain humidity and temperature conditions, and should not be exposed to the sun.

The billet formed must be placed obliquely on the billet plate, not upright, otherwise the billet at the bottom may be cracked, and the billet can enter the printing process.

The purpose of the blank is to make the hand-formed round ware achieve uniformity after firing.

After the body of the hand-drawn blank is naturally dried, the semi-dry body is placed on the earthen abrasive tool and patted by hand, so that the body is evenly formed around the body.

The next step is to refine the printed billet to make it further smooth and round.

Before glazing, this is the normal Jingdezhen method of billet making.

Xiao Zhang is now thinking about how he should do it.

Because according to this old man Ouyang's thoughts, he must want to see every step of this tradition, after all, from the very beginning, Old Man Ouyang has seen Xiao Zhang's unusualness.

Then there is basically a certain number in my heart, because it is impossible for this group of people to watch Xiao Zhang burn all the time.

After watching it for a while, I naturally want to go back to rest, and finally wait for the results.

But what Xiao Zhang is thinking about now is whether he should fire according to this traditional method!

This step by step is nothing more than to get the most delicate body.

But Xiao Zhang belongs to that kind of artist who is bold!

You must know that normal firing of Tang Sancai requires the kneaded mud to be printed in a mold.

However, Xiao Zhang insisted on using the drawing method of Ru porcelain to get out the shape of Tang Sancai at the competition site, which not only improved the delicacy of Tang Sancai but also the grace of the body.

It also raises the overall ceramic to a higher level.

Now Xiao Zhang is going to get the blue and white porcelain down step by step, although it is steady.

But after all, what he has is an entry-level blue and white porcelain firing technique.

And if you use your own grandmaster-level Ru porcelain mud tire blank drawing technology to get it, not only the tire shape is beautiful, but the key is to show the technique!

Aren't these old men just trying to see if they show off or not?

I'm a flower show!

A must-have show!

If you want to see me lively? I was tired for several days to make three pieces of blue and white porcelain, and this group of people had to shake their heads and say: "Yes, yes, it's just that the technique is a little more immature! Keep working hard! It's good, there's a lot of room for improvement!"

This is the result that Xiao Zhang can think of with his ass.

So what are you trying to do?

The scales in Xiao Zhang's heart have begun to tilt.

In that case, it's better to start showing it now.

directly shocked the eyeballs of this group of bad old men.

I Xiao Zhang doesn't need to print blanks, I don't need to use blanks, I can pinch out the most delicate, finest and most beautiful plain tires with my bare hands!

This is the technique of pure craftsmen!

Xiao Zhang's method is not ordinary!

Although glazing or painting patterns are not strong points in this later stage, those who can show off in the early stage must show off.

After Xiao Zhang made up his mind, he was not ambiguous, and directly began to put the mud he had just made on the wheeling car.

This Ouyang Feng was still chatting with Hong Lao with a smile, but suddenly he saw that Xiao Zhang's painting style had changed......

This kid actually got his hands on the mud tire that was kneaded directly.

Is this the audacity of the artist?

What is this operation?

At this time, you can get rough tires!

"Seven Princes...... This ......" Ouyang Feng asked a little stunned.

Hong Lao was not surprised.

Now in these years, young craftsmen are emerging in an endless stream, and their skills have become greater, and there are more tricks.

This Ouyang Feng is old and doesn't play on the rivers and lakes anymore, but there are more interesting tricks on the rivers and lakes.

Not to mention that Xiao Zhang pinched the tire with his bare hands, even the previous Tang Xinghe didn't also burn Tang Sancai without a mold, he specialized in burning jars, and the glaze color was called a novelty!

"Don't worry, this kid has the ability in his hands, not to mention the blank drawing process of this blue and white porcelain, it is Tang Sancai, this kid doesn't need a mold!

"Oh, and this ability!" Ouyang Feng began to carefully look at the movements of Xiao Zhang's hands.

Xiao Zhang really began to exert his strength at this time.
