Chapter 861: A Folk Artist Who Makes Money
The strength of the free retraction is one of the key factors in the success of the blank, perhaps the space spring water is really of great use to the mud, or Jinyang has lowered the standard again and again after the difficulty coefficient is not too high, after wasting half of the mud, he finally pulled out a satisfactory body out.
"Well, yes, yes, although it's still not as good as a real chicken cup, but I'm not a professional ceramic master......, isn't it?
Carefully put the freshly pulled body on the workbench, Jin Yang bent down and looked at it carefully, at first he felt quite satisfied, thinking that his craftsmanship was still very good, although it was not as good as other professional masters, but the amateur pretending to be enough was enough.
But after observing for a while, the more I looked at this small copycat version of the chicken bowl cup Jinyang, the more dissatisfied I became, this thing is a little too small, right?
Compared to my cousin's big teapot cup...... Jin Yang looked back expressionlessly and quietly glanced at it, holding the grass, there was no comparison at all, and the other people's were more than five times bigger than his.
If my cousin's big teapot cup has one liter, his one may be 200 milliliters at most, what can this capacity do?
Is it really used as a wine glass for drinking?
I'm dripping a god, this is a treasure that I worked so hard to waste, how many brain cells and muscle cells were exhausted, and it was not a tyrannical thing to use as a wine cup?
After muttering and struggling for a while, Jin Yang still reluctantly accepted his fate, a small wine glass is a small wine glass, it's better than nothing, he will be tired anymore, and he really doesn't want to start all over again.
And what about Yuanyuan?
She has even done the work of the billet, and with the help of the stall owner's uncle, she has already begun to prepare for carving.
"Uncle, my cup is dried with a small drying equipment, it won't have any bad impact on the finished product, right?" Yuanyuan was a little worried that this method of violating the laws of nature and using drying equipment instead of drying in the shade would not destroy the natural structure inside the clay.
When she was a child, she saw a lot in her hometown, the soil is easy to crack after being burned dry, and people usually use straw and mud to build adobe houses, but they are afraid that the earth will not be strong enough.
Relatively speaking, it is much better to dry in the shade, but it takes a lot of time, and what Yuanyuan lacks now is a lot of time.
When it comes to pottery, the stall owner uncle is always a happy look, gently touching his mustache is very artistic, hearing Yuanyuan's worry, he naturally waved his hand, "It's okay, you can rest assured, at most there are some small problems, but it will not affect the ...... of the pottery."
He is very confident in this, because there have been many successful cases, and the stall owner is very experienced in this!
Although he is an independent and private personal workshop, because the stall owner loves pottery and is very hospitable, his small workshop is often visited by tourists and leaves their footprints here.
Since tourists come to the pottery workshop, they naturally can't return empty-handed, at the beginning the stall owner uncle took the method of gifting, but in the end found that this is not cost-effective, these pottery are made by his own hands, each piece is full of his hard work, it can also be said that each piece is a rare boutique.
Sometimes it may not even be possible to make a finished product in a month, and if he continues to give it away like this every time, I am afraid that it will not be long before he has to drink the northwest wind.
Hospitality isn't such a good way either!
Soon the stall owner uncle changed his strategy, he learned some practices on the Internet, and began to try to let tourists do it themselves, there is an old Chinese saying called do-it-yourself food and clothing, although Mexico does not have this proverb, but the truth is the same.
Most tourists are curious about this novelty, especially if they can get their hands on it in person, not to mention that feeling, many tourists have fun at the same time, and do not forget to take various photos, videos, and then forward them to the Internet......
In this way, the uncle's handicraft workshop quickly became popular, and it was a hot mess, especially when the photos of the uncle's private work showroom circulated on the Internet, and the uncle got the title of "folk pottery artist".
Therefore, the uncle is actually really a folk artist, and he is also a trendy and wealthy folk artist.
With so many tourists visiting this workshop, it is not very easy to make money......? Don't want money?
Well, the topic is far away, in short, the uncle found that it is better to let the guests do it themselves, but the production of pottery takes a lot of time, especially the production of fine pottery, and many tourists often do not have so much time.
Easy to do, the wisdom of the people is endless, and soon a tourist gives an idea...... With a small drying device, it is cheap, simple and convenient!
As for the quality...... Hehe, what tourists want is the fun that comes from the process, and what does it matter if the finished product is good or bad?
It's not for sale, can it be used, can it be photographed, and can it be forced?
Belch...... What the uncle said was so reasonable, Yuanyuan was quickly convinced, and she had no reason to disagree, one is that she doesn't have so much time, and second, even if she strictly follows the procedure, what can she do?
Isn't it still scum compared to a pottery master like my uncle?
The carving of pottery is actually very particular, but for tourists who play tickets, these are not a problem at all, Yuanyuan according to her own preferences, uh, mainly Duoduo's preferences, she is ready to use this hand-made pottery cup to please her baby daughter Duoduo.
She plans to engrave a Barbie doll on the cup, or the image of any cartoon character can also be, Yuanyuan is completely ignorant of such things as painting, and what can be carved can only depend on the will of God.
"Bamboo, bones...... I'm better off using this knife, at least it looks a little better. Yuan Yuan quickly chose a slender carving knife about fifteen centimeters long, frowned and began to think about how to use the knife.
This will Jinyang finally complete the drying steps and start the work of the billet.
