What are the technological characteristics of clay figurine Zhang?

The works of Zhang Can, the founder of clay figurine, will be preserved 160 years. First of all, we should pay attention to the preparation of clay, and choose red clay (commonly known as clay) with strong viscosity for processing. When making, a certain amount of cement is put on the bluestone board, and it is repeatedly mashed with a wooden pestle, and ingredients such as medicinal cotton are added while mashing. The temperature of the mud is very important, which determines the firmness and plasticity of the finished product. The adobe is called cooked soil, which is wrapped in tarpaulins and stored in the cellar for use when necessary.

After the theme is selected and the idea is mature, the small draft is created first, that is, the clay sculpture sample of the work is made. After careful modification of the sample, you can start clay sculpture creation. Creative techniques include shooting, defense, ball pressing and ball picking. After clay sculpture is formed, it has to go through a refining process from coarse to fine.

After the clay figurine is done, it should be dried in the shade, and then polished with sandpaper after it is completely dried. The clay figurine made of pure soil is successful. Some clay figurines are also fired in brick kilns to make them stronger and can be preserved for a long time.

Painted clay figurines should be carefully laid on the clay through the design and deployment of colors and patterns, and finally the small accessories should be fixed in the right position. In this way, a beautiful clay sculpture is presented.
