Chapter 844: The stall owner's handicraft
The stall owner was full of interest in popular science, and the two of them also listened to it with relish, and they also had some understanding of the tradition of Mexican folk ceramic art.
Continuous clay pottery is made up of coiled coils, followed by scraping and coil-forming discs until they can no longer be detected, and these are somewhat different from Chinese ceramics.
Instead of glazing, Hispanic goods were polished and painted with colored fine clay.
Spain introduced Porter's wheels and new glass techniques, including pottery. Colored enamel fits the Mexican aesthetic and Dallaville pottery with its variety of pottery and Arab, Chinese, Spanish and indigenous design influences.
There are also "Baroque" influences developed advantage curves and complex details. This hybrid style features pottery made from local folk art and most potters work in the home workshop, with everyone participating in the process.
During the early colonial period, the persecution of native artisans and the near destruction of their artistic traditions, who used as much design and technology as possible to link religious practices, Spain wanted to replace Christianity.
Technically, however, they benefited from new and new craft techniques, introduced from Europe, and often taught to Aboriginal and mestizo people. The knowledge of strong colors helped them to become competitive with the export of ceramics.
Fortunatel, whose many ancient pottery styles have been found from archaeological excavations, helped indigenous artists often and some of their lost traditions.
Pottery ranges from purely decorative – religious statues, musician miniature and munecas (dolls) – utilitarian: pots, planters, doers (pots), small plates, chargers, salsa plates and cups.
Almost all of these pottery pieces have their own symbolic meanings, just like many of the pottery that Jin Yang just saw that he thought was bizarre, in fact, those were not random graffiti works, but really had a deep meaning of Mexican culture.
Whether it is a folk tradition or a religion, in short, after having a cultural heritage, pottery will be a real art.
"Boss, I see that the colors of your pottery here are very bright, and the colors are even more distinct, this is what you just said, uh, enamel?" Jin Yang asked curiously.
"Boss, there is also the style, a lot of pottery looks so strange, I have never seen this style of pottery before, are these the 'unique meaning' you just said?" Yuan Yuan also couldn't wait to ask.
No wonder both are so curious.
The pottery on the stall is not just some bottles, jars, pots, plates, bowls and other things, like some ceramic figures, ceramic dolls, and even some things that look Shinto and Shinto in Jinyang.
These pottery pieces all have one thing in common, that is, they are colorful and peculiar in shape.
At least Jinyang has never seen a ceramic jar that can grow three human heads, with a lid and three legs, and this kind of strange thing is estimated to be something that only Lao Mo can come up with.
It's a four-way thing.
There were also gray-black jars with several lizards crawling on the bottle, so lifelike that you could even see the tiny scales on their bodies, as well as the sharp teeth inside their mouths.
These things made Jin Yang and the two of them amazed, especially when he knew that these things were made by the slightly old-looking stall owner in front of him, he admired each other even more.
Niu Ren, this is, to be able to do this, not to say that he is a master of ceramics, at least he can be called a folk artist.
In particular, this stall owner is still so neat, from the origin and development of Mexican pottery to the current situation, it can be said that the head is true, but this kind of long talk does not sound very boring, and even Jinyang and the two are more interested in these pottery.
Awesome stall owner, if you don't make pottery and don't become a folk artist, even if you go to sell or something, you will definitely shine.
"Of course!" said the stall owner, with a smug smile on his wrinkled old face, for all the pottery on the stall was his own work, which now surprised and admired the two tourists who looked like rich people......
This is the greatest compliment to a craftsman.
It's the same as a chef who sees his dishes praised by others, and if the person who praises him is a famous gourmand or a prominent person, it will reflect his value even more.
"Boss, I'm a little curious, it stands to reason that it should be very troublesome to fire pottery, I see that you can use a roller car to make rough blanks here, isn't it ......" Pointing to the small place in front of him, as well as the pile of rough blanks that were drying behind the wheel car and the stall owner, Jin Yang asked curiously.
According to his current understanding of making pottery, it is very cumbersome to really fire a batch of pottery, and the space required is not comparable to the place in front of him, which is only a few square meters, and the stall owner makes rough blanks in this small place.
Could it be that the stall owner has his own pottery workshop in the vicinity? Otherwise, I can't explain the scene in front of me.
"My studio is in the village not far behind, it is a very beautiful courtyard, although the place is not big, but I like the environment there very much......" Speaking of his pottery workshop, the stall owner showed more smiles on his face, and after a while, the stall owner paused and looked at Jinyang and Yuanyuan, " If you really like pottery, I thought I could show you around my workshop, where you can see the whole process of making pottery, as well as all kinds of more exotic and beautiful pottery. ”
The stall owner extended an invitation to the two.
"Is it really possible?" Jin Yang hadn't spoken yet, but Yuanyuan on the side cried out in surprise, her eyes wide open, and her face was full of surprise and expectation.
After listening to the boss's detailed introduction, as well as these strange and various pottery on the stall, the cat hidden in Yuanyuan's heart has long been hooked out, and she is now very curious about how to make these pottery.
"Of course!" the stall owner may have said these two words the most today, but fortunately this is a handicraft street that mainly receives tourists from all over the world, and English is the basic configuration, otherwise it would not be possible for several people to communicate so happily.
"If you're willing, well, I'll see. The stall owner took out his mobile phone and looked at the time, the wrinkles on his face looked very kind, "Well, in the afternoon, I will close the stall at two o'clock in the afternoon, you can come to me before two o'clock, and I will take you to my studio when the time comes." ”
"Thank you, we are really curious about these pottery and your workshop, and it would be a pleasure to visit your workshop. Jin Yang smiled and nodded in agreement, and his face couldn't hide his excitement.
