Craft Ceramics

In section 103 Session of China Import and Export Fair (Canton Fair) on, with rich cultural heritage and local features of the Germany-based fine ceramics has attracted the eye and from businessmen, white as white as snow, Caine dense thin, red porcelain red rich and gaudy , pure and honest and full, almost every piece of work are Xingshenjianbei, mouthwatering photo is breathtaking, precious ceramic craft boutique exudes a growing temptation.

Improvement of living standards and aesthetic taste of the changes in people’s attitudes toward technology showed great interest in pottery, craft pottery gradually become market “new favorite,” the problems the market can not be neglected.

In recent years, with domestic and international art market, gradually warming up, discerning collectors and investors will turn their attention to contemporary ceramic artists works of art. Because they know that a good work of art is subject to the production of multi-channel processes can be baked and a superior work of art, but also the skills to years of experience and artistic accomplishment is possible to complete.

From the survival of the status request to request, from the economy requires to cultural requirements, technology ceramics market, gradually warming up, many ceramic artists from the embarrassment of the initial creation, creative levels are getting higher and higher, even ceramics for daily use are becoming increasingly technology-oriented, technology ceramics market potential is gradually being dug up.

However, reporters found that a single talent structure, and cultural heritage such as the protection and still become a bottleneck restricting their development.

In a ceramic for local pillar industries of Germany, ceramic industry employees increased dramatically, with traditional porcelain carving for 50 years in the state of the last century are only a few dozen factory apprentice, and now there are more than 1,000 people engaged in arts and porcelain production alone, the private sector there are more than 200 Ceramics Research Institute. Yet even so, the lack of qualified personnel is also become the biggest challenge facing the industry, civil society, “the division with believers, the parent tape,” the traditional teaching methods have also been hit. Faced with a number of traditional craft ceramic A lack of family situation, the younger generation running out of patience, it seems too strong ceramics have not shown interest. Some ceramic culture, the researchers held that the current technology in Germany, due to the pursuit of market efficiency, industrial machinery, to replace the hand-made, resulting in the degradation of the loss of traditional skills. At the same time, the entire ceramics industry has not formed attention to the protection of cultural awareness of ceramics and atmosphere.

It is worth mentioning that the Government was aware that some traditional craft is heading towards the brink of disappearing and need to be digging, sorting and rescue. Today, Germany has its own ceramic-based colleges, the college is considered Dehua porcelain hope for the future.

In fact, industrial development and cultural protection, there is no contradiction between the long run, it should be an organic unity, mutually reinforcing relationship, the key still lies in the attitude towards cultural awareness and how to enrich the cultural connotation of ceramics, making economy and culture go hand in hand into the ceramic, it will be the development of ceramic industry must break issue.
