It's a familiar work area again.

Xiao Zhang rubbed his hands, he hadn't burned Ru porcelain for a long time.

The last time was the kiln Ru porcelain fired at the National Ceramics Joint Exhibition, and it was also that kiln Ru porcelain that allowed him to successfully climb to the top of the National Ceramics Joint Exhibition and become the best gold medal winner.

It can be said that it was also because of this time that Xiao Zhang received this task, that is, to fire a hundred pieces of Ru porcelain.

Select the clay and start kneading.

Xiao Zhang's current Ru porcelain technique is very delicate and even fine, and through so many exercises, Xiao Zhang can say that the current firing technique is very mature.

It can even be said that the details of each step are familiar.

This mud began to change dramatically in Xiao Zhang's hands.

At the beginning, the technique of this clay was not mature when Xiao Zhang kneaded, and now it has been kneaded many times before the kiln is fired.

The current Xiao Zhang's control of mud can be described as very perfect.

Xiao Zhang began to knead slowly with the same force.

Soon, the mud was ready.

This time, 100 pieces of Ru porcelain needed to be fired.

And the mud required is simply extraordinary.

Xiao Zhang can say that he has been constantly matching mud all day.

Because you can't get too much of this stuff at once.

Too much to pinch.

Xiao Zhang's work is relatively fine.

If you just put several bags of ingredients together, add water and stir them, it is like building a house and cement, and it is not impossible.

But then you lose your original delicate effect.

After all, Xiao Zhang used the dexterity of his hands to control the mud very well, so that the bubbles in the mud could be brought out without affecting the firing of Xiao Zhang's Ru porcelain.

And Xiao Zhang can't control too much mud with his hands now.

So it can only be kneading little by little.

After about five or six hours from morning to afternoon, the mud next to Xiao Zhang had already made a lot of mud.

This clay should be enough to fire 100 pieces of Ru porcelain by yourself, right?

These 100 pieces of Ru porcelain Xiao Zhang must be carefully selected, because the next blank is very critical.

After all, this is Ru porcelain sent abroad for exhibition, which is not only to reflect the beauty of Chinese porcelain, but also to show the essence of Ru porcelain.

Therefore, Xiao Zhang should not be too big or too small in the selector type.

The most suitable is the one with the same result.

Xiao Zhang chose a piece of mud and put it on the wheel.

This first piece of Ru porcelain Xiao Zhang wanted to make was a very traditional string-patterned amphora furnace.

Ru porcelain amphora is a very fine shape of porcelain.

It can be said that among the stoves that Xiao Zhang has seen so far, this one is the most beautiful.

So in Xiao Zhang's boundless sea of Ru porcelain, this is the first work to be taken out.

Of course, it is also a work that Xiao Zhang is relatively easy to warm up and get started with.

Place the mud on the wheel.

Xiao Zhang began to operate.

There are three legs underneath this stringed double-eared furnace.

And it's the kind of three-legged that doesn't have any ornamentation.

The three legs are very evenly distributed and are presented exactly around the furnace body.

The body is very round and heavy, with a height of about ten centimeters.

Although it doesn't look very large, the overall effect is very heavy.

On the top of the furnace are two ears.

It's also the same round and unadorned ears.

The position of these ears corresponds to the three legs under the furnace body.

The diameter of the furnace body is about fifteen centimeters, the top and bottom are consistent, and the bottom is rounded.

There are two strings on the stove body.

The overall structure of this double-eared furnace is not complicated, on the contrary, it is also very textured.

Xiao Zhang's hands moved in unison, and soon the structure of the furnace body came out, and he was getting his ears and three legs up.

This piece of stove is complete.

Xiao Zhang nodded, looking at the other piece of mud.

This furnace has been finished and can be set aside to dry slowly.

And this other needs to be continued.

The current Xiao Zhang's blank drawing speed is obviously much stronger and faster than before.

In the past, when he was in Ruzhou, Xiao Zhang could only pull the blank with that kind of tea cup or small plate, and Xiao Zhang could successfully pull the blank within five minutes.

Now, Xiao Zhang can complete this kind of vessel with a slightly complex size and shape in less than ten minutes.

This is a strong performance of progress, and the most important thing is that Xiao Zhang is not only fast.

This molded work is also very deep, and it is very positive from the overall tire shape!

And the perfection is high.

So Xiao Zhang is also satisfied with his work.

This is the greatest effect that Ru porcelain can achieve in Xiao Zhang's hands at present.

Xiao Zhang picked up another piece of clay, and began to think about what to fire in his heart.

The one just now is relatively simple, so this one is relatively difficult.

Xiao Zhang nodded, got started directly, and put the mud on the wheel.

As the wheel turned, Xiao Zhang's hand began to rotate as well.

It is a very lily wash.

If it is safe to fire, the full name should be called Azure Glaze Lily Wash.

The reason why it is said to be delicate is mainly because the overall shape of this piece is very delicate and lubricated.

And the size is also very reasonable and comparable.

The height is only about eight centimeters, and the diameter is about ten centimeters, the diameter of the body is about fifteen centimeters, and the foot diameter is still ten centimeters.

This kind of washing is the best size presentation.

Furthermore, it is a petal effect treatment similar to a lily in the place where I wash my mouth.

The subtle bending changes will make this lily wash very beautiful and charming.

Xiao Zhang's heart began to draw blanks after having a draft.

With the rotation of the wheel, Xiao Zhang's hand went deep into the washing, and continued to run in, making the washing wall thinner.

After returning from Jingdezhen, Xiao Zhang's biggest progress and growth or change when he drew the blank was that he treated the thickness of the porcelain, and Xiao Zhang had a more stable touch, which could make the work thinner.

In the past, Xiao Zhang could not achieve this at all.

Therefore, Xiao Zhang's eyes are now all focused on this lily wash.

The thickness of the mud tire is very important.

This determines the subsequent firing effect.

So Xiao Zhang is also very serious now.

In fact, the overall difficulty of this lily wash is similar to that of the previous one, but the only difference is that this one is more delicate, while the Chaotian furnace is thicker.

Each has its own advantages.

They are all perfect expressions of traditional Ru porcelain.

Xiao Zhang lowered his head and gently stopped the wheel, and looked at the mud tire with his head close to the lily.

What needs to be refined.

What needs to be improved.

Basically perfect.

Xiao Zhang gently took down the mud tire and put it aside to prepare for drying.

According to Xiao Zhang's current speed, he can basically complete about four or five pieces in an hour.
