Knead mud.

Mud kneading is the first skill or training method to master in ceramic art creation, and it is also the first process of modeling creation. The purpose of mud kneading is to empty the bubbles in the mud and make the mud more dense. Without this process, the green body is easy to have bubbles, and it is easy to crack and deform after drying and firing.

Make a blank.

Blanking is also called drawing. After the mud is kneaded, you can start making blanks. According to the final pattern, roughly corresponding blanks are made for later printing.

Print blank.

After a certain period of time, the blank is naturally dried in the shade (it must be dried in the shade under certain humidity and temperature conditions, and cannot be exposed to the sun. The blank formed by the blank must be placed obliquely on the blank plate, not vertically. If placed vertically, it may cause the blank at the bottom to crack before entering the blank printing process. The purpose of printing blank is to make the hand-shaped circular device uniform after firing. After the hand-drawn blank is naturally dried in the shade, the semi-dried blank is placed on a local grinding tool and slapped by hand to make the blank evenly knotted.

Benefit the blank.

Blanking is to finish the printed blank to make it smoother and rounder.

Swing glaze.

If the round vessel is not decorated, it needs to be glazed first. The glaze on the outside of the utensil is the second dipping glaze in the later period. Glazes are generally made of timely, feldspar and clay. The methods of glazing ceramics are spraying, blowing, dipping, pouring and swinging.

Nothing.

It refers to drawing a pattern on a blank with blue and white pigments. All blue and white porcelain, whether round knives or large and small pieces, have to go through the process of drawing blanks.

Mixed water.

The beauty of blue and white lies not only in fine painting, but also in the exquisiteness of painting and dyeing of traditional ink and wash landscapes in China, all of which come from the process of mixing water.

Apply external glaze.

The finished porcelain blank needs secondary glazing. At this point, the foot of the cup has not yet formed. The glaze dipping method requires the master to have a comprehensive understanding and grasp of the expected values of blank, glaze and porcelain. The time that the porcelain body is immersed in glaze water directly affects the appearance of the fired porcelain.

Dig your feet.

After the exterior of the porcelain blank is glazed and the glazed surface is naturally dried, it can enter the digging process. Because we are glazed objects, we need to leave the outermost blank when digging, and to keep the excircle basically the same, which requires strong control ability and foundation.

Priming glaze.
