Chapter 66 A piece of praise, follow-up reading, investment,
Please ask for monthly tickets on the last day of this month, there are still 37 tickets left to add!
There are three main steps in the teapot making process. The first step is preparation, including preparation of tools, clay, and modeling preparation.
Not to mention mud and tools, tools are sold everywhere, and mud is no problem for Chen Wenzhe.
Clay Master is definitely not just talking about it.
Chen Wenzhe has prepared the clay a long time ago, and now he is mainly focusing on shaping.
The main methods of making teapots are hand kneading and impressions.
In both cases, each component is made first, then the components are glued together, and then the surface is finished.
The finished teapot must first be dried in the shade to remove the moisture in the embryo, otherwise it will easily burst during firing.
It takes about two or three days to dry in the shade, and then the blank can be put into a box and fired in the kiln.
Chen Wenzhe first took out the dried mud ball, squeezed it, kneaded it, and when it felt suitable, he placed it directly on the workbench and prepared to press it.
"Actually, making a teapot is very easy. The main method of shaping is hand kneading. The key to manual shaping lies in the standardization of clay molding techniques, just right, and the fine processing of the surface.
Fine scraping and correction can make the shape and structure of the vessel more rigorous, with clear and decent outlines and clear ribs, so as to achieve the production requirements of being round, smooth and integrated."
"When it comes to making it, it's even simpler. Just put the cooked mud on a clay bench, beat it with a wooden skewer, and beat it into clay flakes."
"Then beat the clay into strips, and then cut the clay into strips. This is used to make the body of the pot. Others include rubbing the spout, rolling the handle, making the bottom piece, the mouth piece, and the body tube."
"The body tube is actually a process for splicing the tire, and it is vertically connected. If you want to do this step well, it is simple, just keep tapping the body tube. There is a process in which practice makes perfect. If you are unfamiliar with it, the result will not look good.
, if you are familiar with it, it will be easy to make it.”
Chen Wenzhe has master-level pot making skills. He can make clay strips and cut clay strips without any problems.
Master-level clay training, the blessing for pot making here is unparalleled!
Rubbing the spout and handle is no problem, this is living mud.
As for the tube formation, he has a master's skill in connecting the fetus, so there is no problem at all.
After reaching this step, the bottom is connected. However, after the bottom is connected, there is no need to bake it. Instead, it needs to be beaten continuously to make the bottom and body of the pot perfectly combined.
After the tire connection is completed, it means trimming and applying mud to make the overall pot body as perfect as possible.
After completing this step, it’s just a matter of doing some piecemeal work.
The main tasks include making the lid, handle, spout, and knob, digging out water holes, hollowing out the spout, filling in mud, and trimming to make the joints even.
The next step is to cut the mouth of the pot, trim the inside of the pot, stamp the pot, and strike the bottom stamp.
At this point, after careful repairs, the pot is completed.
Of course, there are still many techniques used in this process, mainly tire splicing.
This can be regarded as unintentional. Chen Wenzhe has mastered the craftsmanship of fetal receptacles before he went out of his way to learn how to do so.
It's a pity that he doesn't have enough achievement points, otherwise he could be upgraded to master level by completing it.
However, this has no impact on pot making. After all, completion is not an important process in making pots.
Chen Wenzhe did the whole pot making process very quickly.
Prepare the mud, press it into strips, cut it, and make each component, just follow the steps.
Chen Qinghu has a certain foundation, but when it comes to actually making it, he still needs to learn a lot, and it also requires a long period of practice. Otherwise, it is absolutely impossible to make a perfect horizontal pot.
"Are you done now?" Li Qingtian looked at Chen Wenzhe dumbfounded.
Is it so easy to make a teapot?
He saw Chen Wenzhe, talking and doing, and with just a few simple steps, a teapot came out.
Chen Qinghu is even more difficult, he still has to learn from it!
This thing looks simple, but is difficult to make.
Not to mention other things, just making a mud strip requires effort. If you don’t have enough time, the resulting mud strip will be uneven. How to use it?
He was good at cutting mud strips, but the cut strips had to be rolled into tubes and glued together.
This was mud, it was soft, and it deformed when he exerted a little force.
It doesn't work without force, because the mud strips are rolled into a tube, and the part where the tire is connected needs to be compacted and bonded with water to eliminate traces.
All of this is really difficult to do.
Not to mention, there are other bits and pieces to make.
Those are small pieces and require finesse, so they certainly cannot be completed in a short time.
Although Li Qingtian was surprised, he was even happier.
The biggest fear when live broadcasting handmade works is that the time is too long, which makes the audience bored.
The live broadcast of Chen Wenzhe making a horizontal pot is very interesting because he is very fast.
Before you feel bored, he has come up with something new.
A pot, he struck it three times, divided it by five, and put it in front of you before you could react.
Just like now, not only Li Qingtian didn't react, but all the netizens in his live broadcast room didn't react either.
Watching, watching, before you know it, a pot is finished.
It can be said that as long as you take a few glances and keep up, you will have seen the complete production process of a hand-made horizontal pot.
"The boss is awesome!"
"Cattle fork!"
"awesome!"
...
A series of exclamations almost overflowed from the phone.
After watching the entire pot-making process, Li Qingtian's live broadcast room was filled with praise.
Therefore, Chen Wenzhe heard a series of system prompts.
"Get recognized by the world, and your achievement points will be increased by one!"
"Get recognized by the world, and your achievement points will be increased by one!"
The speed is not fast, it usually takes a minute or two to add an achievement point.
But he couldn't stand the continuous flow. In just ten minutes, he got more than a dozen achievement points.
This made Chen Wenzhe a little curious, how did this achievement point increase?
When Li Qingtian was making introductions in the live broadcast room, Chen Wenzhe also took a few glances.
He found that it took almost ten praises to get one achievement point.
"The recognition of ordinary people is not valuable?"
Chen Wenzhe muttered in his heart, but the movements in his hands did not stop.
After repairing the horizontal pot in his hand, Chen Wenzhe directly used the wheel.
Compared with making clay strips, he still prefers to draw the embryo.
To make an urn-shaped pot, you can directly pull out a pot body.
An urn-shaped teapot, as the name suggests, is a teapot that is just like the urns used to hold grain in farmers' homes, except that it is much smaller.
The drawing speed was very fast, and in just a moment, a small urn was formed in Chen Wenzhe's hands.
Then, we started to repair the tire, dig holes, and then make the spout, bottom, knob and handle.
In this way, making those fragmentary parts becomes more time-consuming.
Especially attaching the base and making the lid, these two parts require careful attention.
Making the spout also requires patience, because the rolled spout needs to be hollowed out inside.
