Who can tell me the advantages and disadvantages of soft pottery?

The following text is taken from the online forum of soft pottery art. This question has been discussed many times. I suggest you look it up.

Soft pottery has a history of 6 ~ 7 years in China, but it is currently at a low level of development, and the finished product has two directions:

1, almost all the products produced by the factory are authorized or processed by some foreign low-end products (attracting buyers with low domestic labor costs, matching design styles and tastes, etc.), and its position in this circulation chain can be imagined. Due to the lack of original and undigested imitation, the factory itself has also suffered vicious competition in recent years. Due to the need of large-scale production, reducing costs has become the primary condition. However, the molding and proficiency limit the direct reduction of the taste and grade of the finished product, and there is no culture and emotion in the use of this material in China, which leads to one-sided understanding and misleading (low-level, naive, immature and difficult to be elegant)

2; What about the terminal? Without the bondage of mass production, the spring and autumn period, in which a hundred flowers blossom and compete for beauty, was indeed suspected of being prosperous in the early stage. However, the subsequent development did not dig deep because of the promotion of connotation and the eagerness to pick fruits (benefits), and lacked quality and system, which interrupted this material and the high-end market was far from forming a sudden scale. . . Form such an embarrassing situation today.

Anyone who is committed to handicraft art knows that the so-called handicraft art is that art comes first and art comes last, and all materials are used in this way. Art is the soul and technology is the means. . . But it seems that the situation is suspected to be reversed today.

Personally, I think the performance of various materials comes from two aspects: one is form and the other is color, and the highest taste is to cherish form and color. The more abundant the body language, the more precious the form, and the better the color expression. For example, Chinese painting pigments, most of the master works cherish ink like gold, called meticulous painting. I think people who still like this material will try to tap its high-quality value. . .

This problem is really deep. I remember there was a post on the exchange page saying how to keep the enthusiasm of soft pottery. I don't think it's irrelevant. When the soft pottery market just started, many people were enthusiastic and hoped to develop this market, but the reality still lags far behind imagination. There must be many factors in this.

First of all, I regard soft pottery as a fun game that the landlord said, and my students also regard it as a fun game, so we always enjoy it, do what we want and enjoy it. I believe many friends here are also like this.

But when it comes to commercial soft pottery, I believe that most people who open soft pottery shops are not professional businessmen and have never studied economics. In fact, a few months before opening a store, market research will be carried out. For example, in the soft pottery market, the appreciation level of Chinese people can be said to be lower than that of Europe and America. The demand for decorations has certain characteristics, that is, they are beautiful and cheap, and they don't think much about materials or art. Most people only care about beautiful and cheap, but I have seen that many manufacturers of soft pottery can't cater to the tastes of modern China people. I often see some soft pottery ornaments for sale 1. What the landlord said today is worth considering. If you can't find the decorative beauty of soft pottery itself, what are the selling points of soft pottery ornaments?

When I first came to this forum, I always wanted to talk about the issues mentioned by Wang Zi. The technology of most of us here is not the problem, but often the problem lies in artistry. Soft pottery art online is more soft pottery works than works of art, so at that time, I highly praised Bawangtao's thoughtful and lively works. Many of their works are art. If soft pottery rises to art, it will have vitality and survive better.

However, I can't understand this question, because I am a mess myself. Is it because of the rise that people will accept our artistry? When our level goes up, our society will lose the ability to appreciate art and the power to be narcissistic like those professional artists (I am a teacher and know that few people can appreciate Qi Baishi's works, but people in Liulichang can draw hundreds of thousands). Soft pottery art is not good. Professional soft pottery professionals must respect social reality and cater to buyers' tastes. Actually, I think this form of pottery bar is very good. There is no need to make the soft pottery market too big. A fixed market is enough. No matter how small the market is, as long as it is fixed, there is development capital. I will surf the internet these days, and I will say anything.
