Trade Mall recently held the first Shanghai International Ceramic Art of Living Fair, displaying a number with an artistic, modern pottery of daily use, has been welcomed by the viewer. Ceramic Art of Living Fair director Jiang Biao, said a long time, daily-use porcelain and artistic porcelain is the “water”, “oil” separation, artistic porcelain placed in galleries, fairs, even into people’s homes are decorated; and day with people’s lives, Ceramics, for decades a kind. Daily needs of the United States, Expo is the advocate in making the ancient ceramics, while the use of functions will be placed on aesthetics which is the potter can not shirk this responsibility.

In fact, the art of porcelain and porcelain are entirely different signs are everywhere in Nanjing Road, Huaihai Road in major shopping malls, art porcelain strange things. The porcelain is still in use years of the Ming Dynasty Zhengde shape, the Millennium change. Biao Jiang said that China Chaozhou, Guangdong, Foshan, Shandong Zibo, Tangshan, Hebei and Jiangxi Jingdezhen Ceramic five production areas, in addition to the construction Foshan ceramic sanitary products and Tangshan industrial porcelain production, the remaining three are household utensils for daily use mainly export volume accounts for 70% of the world, only 6% of the profit, the production of cups, plates, bowls, etc., and there were artists who participate in the design is more fashionable than the price difference between the number of times, on a hundred times, with foreign brands daily porcelain is also very poor in comparison.

At the fair, those designs are creative, novelty-type containers are mostly from the modern ceramics industry of cutting-edge, rare arts and crafts masters presence. The reason is that the Jiang Biao, a long time, the culture of ceramics sector, carrying a heavy burden accumulated from the history of pottery up the concept of manual skills so that they confined space, follow the laws of the pottery and decorative patterns, constantly engaged in repeated crafts. If the theory of existence, they are comfortable and stable, but in the contemporary art of the “seats” in, but it should not become absentees. The group of young potters out beyond the confines of traditional ceramics. However, their creative passion beyond mere style porcelain achievements in the arts, or at most a number of gifts designed porcelain or ceramic party has never been converted to day use of the mass population on a daily-use porcelain. The reason, the key or value orientation, art porcelain prices are abnormally high, a famous hand-painted glass need a thousand dollars, the price of a vase can be as high as several million or even a hundred thousand dollars. Even the artist’s paintings with the production of limited products, but also a few hundred dollars. The design costs can be porcelain is very thin, leading designers, artists have no intention to participate. Jiang Biao said, the art porcelain to life, and daily-use porcelain to be artistic, and allow people to use these containers at the same time, it can feel “beauty”, which is ceramic industry problems to be solved.

How do I find a community pottery/ceramics art center?

Ive been wanting to get back into some pottery again for some time, but if you know anything about the tools necessary for pottery you ll know that stuff isn’t cheap; pottery wheels, kilns, etc. So i thought maybe there might be some kind of community art center around here in Vancouver, WA where i could do some pottery, but i do not know how to go about finding where a place like that might be. any suggestions?

use a search engine, looks like you may have to go to portland.
