Teapot making process

There are three main ways to shape the teapot: “bath shaping” and “casting molding” and “casting model molding”. Zisha pots are generally hand-molded into a thick, uniform piece of mud by using a wet Zisha mud piece. Each part of the pot is made separately and then bonded together to form a prototype of a pot; then, it is trimmed and improved. Calculated into embryos. Since the teapot has two types of rounder and squarer, the rounder adopts "beat body forming" and the squarer "fitted body forming". "Gypsum model forming method" is a semi-manual pot. It is a model made of gypsum, and it gives a shape to the teapot, which can greatly improve the pot efficiency.

The process of making these three teapots can be roughly divided into four processes: preparation, production, firing and subsequent processes. The production process of these teapots is generally not performed by a single person. For example, firing is not usually done by production staff. It can be seen that the division of labor in the society is very significant. This is an important reason for the development of purple sand.

A: Zishahu preparation process preparation (including preparation tools, mud, modeling preparation)

Zisha Making Process 1: Zisha pot preparation The first step is to dig the mud from the mine. The purple mud excavated from the seam is commonly called mud. The mud is like a block of rock. After the mud comes out, it needs natural differentiation, and then it is broken and grinded. Fine, and sieved with a 60-mesh sieve; manual or mechanical mud training. Hand-practice mud is very hard, and later use Raymond machines, but with the machine easily damage the mud.

Teapot Making Process 2: Tool preparation tools are also constantly being created. The following is only a list of the tools that have been used by people for a long time. Making good use of tools is a prerequisite for a good teapot.

Mainly include mud stools (workbenches), rides (tearing mud, etc.), beats (drums, etc.), sharp knives, chariots (doing round mud), wire stems (smooth tools for various moldings), Clear needle (ie horn tablets, smooth surface) and so on.

Teapot Making Process 3: Before Modeling Prepare a Teapot Make sure the teapot you want is a good one. Just like drawing a picture, you must first think well. You can draw some sketches and do some calculations. Another method of molding is to use a stamp. If this method is used, it is necessary to make a mold after the design. The method of using the stamp can produce a large number of designs.

Two: Zisha pot making process The main method of making purple sand mold is manual pinching and stamping. In both cases, the various parts are first made, and then the various parts are glued together, and then surface finishing is performed, particularly in the interface department. For the sake of handwork, the body of a round teapot uses the method of “snapping the body”, and the body of the square (including the square, the six side, etc.) of the teapot uses the method of “insert the barrel”.

The basic process includes:

Teapot making process 1. The clay pieces are made into thick and thin pieces of mud, commonly known as mud slivers, mud shards and other teapot making processes 2. The body of the kettle is divided into two methods: "Plap Body" and "Embedded Body". There is also the process of making clay pots such as the model method. Pot making handle, spout, lid and other teapot making process 4. Finished teapot making process 5. Some need to add some decorations, such as decals, paintings, lettering, etc.. 3: Teapots made in the process of teapot making should first be dried and the water in the pot embryos should be removed. Otherwise, it will be easy to burn and burst. About two or three days. After drying, the blanks are put into the kiln and fired. Nowadays, tunnel kilns are generally used for firing. Ancient kilns have been fired in long kilns, and flaming kilns have been used since the liberation.

IV: Follow-up process of the production process of the teapot The purple sander needs to be completed after firing, and some processes such as copper-clad and gold-silver mosaic are also polished.
