Craft Ceramics

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.

Dehua porcelain in the market that in recent years, with the 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. Value of Contemporary Ceramic Art collectors have also been gradually recognized, a number of the works of masters even more heavily bought by collectors.

Red-Cultural Development Co., Ltd Fujian rich artistic director Xu Shaodong, said that with the improvement of people's living standard, social and daily life from the initial demand, the transition to the collection needs of the times. 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.

Enhance the operation of the market

"Their favorite works do not necessarily easy to sell, we can only go the market route." Dehua Ceramic young artist Yan Song Liu has been committed to the traditional porcelain carving of innovation, and strive to the modernization of the traditional porcelain carving. He said he set foot on the beginning of porcelain art road alone personal preferences, creating a very modern character since that works, resulting in the market has dropped his ankle. In the personal creative struggle with the contradiction between market choice, the final selection of personal ideas and market integration.

Flying Arts porcelain Zheng PENG Xiong also said that in the market demand, according to the idea of creating their own works less and less, the market also made the contradiction between art and some of his regrets. Reporters interviewed found that, in fact, such a situation is not only one or two troubled divisions ceramics, ceramic industry, created to cater for market-oriented, dealers concerned about the low-end consumer goods, high-end art sales channels and poor, the basic walking collection routes, the final market selection is the last word. Of course, this is also with the current appreciation of the level of the public as a whole, but the market is still the contradiction between art and ceramic art master difficult to resolve troubles.

On the other hand, "do not sell" is also a lot of ceramic masters weaknesses. China Arts and Crafts master LIU Yuan-Long will be a work of art to be sold to another 100,000 yuan price, but buyers soon to 500,000 yuan in Hong Kong, sold at high prices, which also made a lot of people to re-examine the process ceramics markets. Experts believe that this reflects the art of pottery making by self-awareness of the market is not strong on the other hand also shows that Taiwan does not have a smooth sales channels, can provide a suitable market for ceramic art mode of operation.

The establishment of formal channels, art market, beyond the mode of operation, for example today's ceramic artists, and creativity are equally important.

Constraints to break the bottleneck

Craft ceramic pottery carries cultural heritage in China for thousands of years, but also laying the ground for Chinese ceramics in the international position in the international and domestic reputation, with the construction, decoration, collection development of the industries, technology class ceramic broad development prospects. 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.

Become a collection of contemporary ceramics

It is understood that the early 90s, modern and contemporary ceramics mainly in the form of handicrafts for export trade, and more than that some overseas acquisition, modern and contemporary ceramics, especially Hong Kong, Singapore and Southeast Asia. Into the 21st century, the domestic collection of contemporary porcelain, mostly bought from overseas. Today, the collection of domestic market, increasing cash flow, collecting groups are also rapidly expanding.

Multicolor ceramic decals screen printing techniques and precautions

ceramic decals screen printing

currently, ceramics containers and spray painted decoration has been replaced by color decal transfer. however, some workers on the screen ceramic decal printing technology not quite understand, this article will focus on technical issues in this area, for a profile in the hope of better ideas into effect.

>> ceramics beautiful arts center 1, ceramic decals scope and characteristics of paper use 1), mainly used in ceramic ceramic decal china pan decorative patterns and colors to replace the old days of hand-painted and spray painted process. 2), ceramic decal printing resolution up to 40-50 lines / cm. 3), ceramic decal paper inks logo posted on the ceramics, the need to 700-800 , or fired at 1100-1350 to adhere firmly, with the ceramic color varieties of hair color agent determined. 4), ceramic is the ceramic ink decal carrier, into ceramic glaze and ceramic underglaze decals decal paper, wrapping paper because of the composition and the type of distinction. 5), as ceramic ink opacity, transparency is poor, so the current theory can not use primary colors for printing, network printing side by side with non-overlay network special color ink printing. 6), enamel decal printing inks for the high-temperature solvent of ink; underglaze decal printing inks for the high-temperature water-based ink. second, the classification of ceramic decals decals and glaze under the order and sintering in different ways, into ceramic glaze ceramic underglaze decal decal and .

1), ceramic glaze stickers : is first glazed ceramic ware, after the decal, and then sintered. about patterns of ceramic ink printing in the pvb ( polyethylene alcohol butyral) film surface, pvb film is coated with perchlorethylene adhesive (108g /?) the end of paper coating two pvb solution (total thickness of 0.01-0.011mm) to get. use, the first end of paper and printing a pattern of pvb membrane separation, and then dip alcohol after pvb film posted on the pottery glaze table surface, through the 780-830 sintering, pvb film carbonized decomposition patterns in pottery glaze on the attachment to complete the transfer of color ceramics. 2), ceramic underglaze decal : is the first in the ceramics embryos decal, and then coated with a layer of transparent enamel sintering at 1350 under color pottery.

will set flower design printed on paper, this set of paper is tissue paper flowers and 180g /? wood pulp paper for the time being be mounted together, and mounted together with a bonding liquid and liquid filling the general solution is made by a certain percentage and concentration , mounted timely must use special co-mounted liquid. patterns of the carrier for the tissue paper, also known as parchment. use, will be posted on the ceramic flower paper carrier embryos, unfold the mount, the coated layer of transparent enamel, making porcelain enamel layer covers the entire embryo, and then ceramic sintered at 1350 embryo into a colorful ceramics. 3, ceramic ink composition 1), porcelain enamel ink composition. connection material: solid resin and organic solvent soluble resin, or film-forming properties. hair color agent: department of metallic oxides, decided to color hue after firing. additives : increase the brightness of pigment, so color decorating porcelain mojing fusion burn and ceramic glaze. generally lead glass body, low melting point of boron. 2), underglaze porcelain ink ceramic ink composition and the same glaze, but the binders are water-soluble material. 4, ceramic ink screen and the system used plate material 1, with yellow and other colors nylon screen. 2, ordinary products with 270-320 mesh / inch screen, flower with 220-250 mesh / inch screen production relief effect, products with small text 340-400 mesh / inch screen. 3, color network printing minimum screen lines: head = 1:3, but must consider the thickness of ceramic ink particles, over the net convenient and does not produce a combination of factors such as tortoises. 4, color network printing phenomenon of ghost lines can change the screen mesh, mesh screen angles or stretching point, network types and network arrangement and other methods to eliminate or reduce.

5, glaze ceramic screen ink used for the solvent screen, with oil sensitive adhesive or capillary film, or gender sensitive plastic water and oil plate ; ink underglaze porcelain screen used screen for the water resistance, water or water-oil rubber sexy light colored plastic version of gender sensitive. 5, ceramic decals precautions 1, in the workplace temperature maintained at 22-26 , relative humidity of 65-70% is appropriate. 2, chromatography underglaze printing on paper with the decals, silk prepress should place the paper first enter the screen a few days (depending on weather condition), to be printed after the expansion and stability. 3, the decals on the chromatography paper, each printed with color after drying, should be hanging up some time until the water content of the paper to resume only after the second printing to the next color. 4, screen printing ceramic ink poor miscibility, mixed properly, will produce the chemical reaction sintering, so that the color variation or popcorn and other illnesses, so each should be mixed use and good porcelain ink. can see from the above, different processes used in ceramic decoration ceramic decal different, and different ceramic decal printing process and omental version and the ink used is also different.

therefore, when ceramic decal printing, be sure to clarify the specific processes and decals ceramic decorative paper printing process and the use of materials required in order to reduce waste, reduce costs and improve efficiency.

Understanding Industrial Ceramics

Industrial Ceramics

Ceramics is an extremely useful thing in the modern concept. Their branches or uses have scattered in various industrial fields of modern world and they are hugely demanded now a day. They are presently used in almost everything. If industrial ceramics have to be classified, then they are to be divided into two broad forms. They are the traditional forms and the advanced forms.

While the traditional use of ceramics deal mainly with the general uses of it in everyday life, the advanced use of ceramics deal with everything that is much sophisticated and are generally used in industries. They are used in chemical, mechanical, in optical and in every other type of industry. They are used in refectories and while manufacturing iron and steel.

The conventional subdivisions of ceramics are structural clay items like bricks, sewer pipes and roofing tiles. Some others are dinnerware, electrical porcelain and even items like natural and synthetic diamonds. They also contain some forms of glasses like the flat and the container glasses. After the conventional subdivisions come the upgraded forms of ceramic.

They include motor parts like brakes, rotors and spark plugs, items relating to aerospace like thermal insulation and the satellite positioning machineries, optical items for dental and medical divisions and different other forms of telecommunications. To understand the great use of ceramics, a comprehensive study has to be done about all the sectors where it is generally used.

Ceramics is used in all types of building materials, in floors, fireplaces and in countertops. Bricks made of this can be used in areas where hurricanes and other type of natural disasters are frequent as these bricks are extremely strong.

Ceramics is used in high quality by the defense of any country. As they are very tough and durable, they are used in a number of sectors by them. Most importantly, they are also used by the space shuttle and in airplanes. The aerospace industry uses them in large quantity because the fibers of the ceramics act as a safeguard against the fire and thermal insulation.

This is absolutely necessary otherwise; the aircraft will get destroyed as soon as their engines will get heated. Moreover, ceramics are also very light weighed. Ceramics is used in sports field as racing car brakes and in some golf clubs. In the electrical industry, ceramics is used in almost everywhere ranging from radios, laptops, PCs to GPS devices. Ceramics are also used in medical fields like the one called TheraSpheresTM, which is used to treat the cancer patients.

They are also used to remove tumor and are more effective than chemotherapy. In industry, ceramics are used in a large number because of the material's heat opposing assets and acute permanence. They are used in large amount in industries like refractory, oil refinery, glassware and in metallurgical industry.
