Ceramic art is really amazing. Ceramic art

The American film Ghost. Molly, the heroine played by the beautiful demi moore, is a ceramist. It is said that Molly, who is kind and clever, has sent many American women to pottery classes. The romance between Molly and her boyfriend touched the hearts of countless people when making pottery.

Anyone who holds mud will have thousands of forms in his hand. What is particularly outstanding is that it can expose your mind-this is ceramic art, which fixes the present mood and becomes an eternal memory.

I used to run pottery and met all kinds of guests who love pottery. They have different mentality and purchasing power. I'm glad that more and more people are interested in pottery.

Choosing pottery, whether elegant or vulgar, is the best. In different environments, natural comfort is the first priority, and you must not be far-fetched and wronged yourself. For example, people who are obviously used to exquisiteness and orderliness, for the sake of the concept of "returning to nature", move a "big stone" home, which is asking for it. If you like Guan Gong, Zhong Kui and Fu Lushou, don't be afraid of being ridiculous and tacky; If you like small things, don't be ashamed to show your yearning for warmth and sweetness. These are part of your life and should not be hidden.

I like honest customers. Sometimes I think a work is not suitable for him, so I will advise him not to buy it first. A simple girl (probably a middle school student) came to buy pottery, looked at it carefully and sighed: the people who make these things must be very kind. This moved me. She finally chose a small cup and a small leaf-shaped plate as a cup holder. She said it was a birthday present for her classmates and wanted to express the truth that a friendship between gentlemen is as light as water. I can't forget her eyes now.

A friend in the advertising business also told me about the magic of pottery. She is very interested in pottery. The most exquisite pottery in the studio is a large green glazed lotus leaf tray on the table, which contains one-third of the water, plus a few pieces of rain flower stones brought back from abroad. She doesn't know Feng Shui, but she says she feels the indoor air is warm and harmonious, and she is very comfortable to work. There is also a feeling of "gathering" on the lotus leaf tray, which makes her full of hope. I think this is the modeling and theme of ceramic art that has played a role. She is my most successful customer.

Stories that happen on pottery are often surprising. My good friend Xiao Dan has set up a book production company. She works very hard. But there are too many trivial things, which makes her very angry. Xiao Dan likes pottery, and one day he came to my shop to choose, saying that it would be refreshing to look at pottery. She chose a young monk who slept beside him, quiet and serene, just like Xiao Dan who shaved his head when he was a child. She was going to put the young monk in the backlight position of the window sill, and the light came in, vaguely quiet. Because she likes folk art, she chose a "God Save the People" wall hanging and a pair of door gods. I joked with her: "The company is in trouble, and there are probably children at work. Take them back and treat them as children's play. " Amazingly, since then, the company has been on the right track and its work has been getting better and better. Xiao Dan said that this is the power of pottery. Perhaps, pottery can really cultivate people's hearts.

I don't want to exaggerate the role of ceramic art, but I just want to tell you that you should respect your feelings when choosing ceramic art and create your own environment with ceramic art.

Here are some ways to make your own pottery and do some decoration in your spare time.

Things are interesting.
