What is the "twisted mud decoration" of purple clay pot?

The process of twisting mud is difficult and the production cost is high, which is the combination and innovation of our traditional purple clay pot making process and traditional twisting process. Through the twisting mud decoration, the expression of the purple clay pot is more diverse, and the realization form has more visual impact, which not only increases the difficulty of the purple clay pot process, but also increases the appreciation of the purple clay pot art, which is the treasure of the purple clay pot art in our country.

The use of two or more different colors of clay materials soft each other, extrusion to form natural patterns (such as moire, water ripples, spiral, woven patterns, etc.) ceramic decoration techniques.

The mud process originated in the Tang Dynasty, is the combination of the Tang Dynasty and the purple sand pot process, reflecting the highest level of China's pot process, Japan, South Korea have similar processes, but the process was introduced into Japan and South Korea relatively late, so the form of this process is relatively less compared with China, only porcelain works.

In China, the porcelain works of stranded mud, we call it stranded, the main producing area in Henan Jiaozuo, stranded mud purple sand main producing area in Yixing, this process is more difficult, so Yixing there are few craftsmen engaged in this process, the more famous stranded mud artists are Lv Yaochen of Yixing, Jiaozuo Yang Xia, etc., their works are relatively novel, while inheriting the traditional process, It incorporates a lot of new design elements. Lv Yaochen's works are calm and atmospheric, and Yang Xia's works are full of creativity and bold color, which is the inheritor and pioneer of the mud craft in China.

A good piece of twisted clay work, not only have a good shape design, but also have a good decorative design, at the same time because the process is relatively difficult, the craftsman itself has limitations, so many good twisted clay works are from the perfect cooperation between designers and craftsmen. It can be said that without the participation of good designers, it is impossible to make good stranded mud works, no skilled craftsmen, even if the design is beautiful, can not make stranded mud boutique, there are not many professional stranded mud design studios in China, I believe that with the maturity of the production process, specialized in making stranded mud design studios will continue to emerge, and even some industrial designers will be attracted by the stranded mud art. Cross boundary to do the design of twisted clay purple sand.
