Conan's Devil Child Comes to the World

Chapter 297 Kudo Shinichi Is Not That Kind of Person

In order to make up for her bragging, Sonoko decided to give Kyogoku a new gift made by herself.

Compared with knitting sweaters, Yuanzi feels that it is easier to make ceramics, and sweaters can only be worn in winter, but ceramic cups can be used every day.

Therefore, after thinking about it, Sonoko still feels that it is more practical to give Kyogoku a ceramic cup than to give him a sweater.

What a clever little ghost!
Perhaps because he was worried that he would give up halfway, Yuanzi specially encouraged Mao Lilan to sign up for this pottery class with her.

In Sonoko's words, Mori Ran should also give Kudo Shinichi a ceramic cup made by himself.

In this way, when Kudo Shin sees the ceramic cup, he will think of Mao Lilan, and he will not dare to have unreasonable thoughts about other women.

Although Mao Lilan said on the surface that Kudo Shinichi was not such a person, he still signed up for the pottery class decisively, leaving Conan who was present at the time speechless.

The teacher who opened the pottery class is Mino Zongzi. He is a famous pottery master in the island country. He is 62 years old this year.

On the outside, he looks like a kind gray-haired old man with a Mediterranean hairstyle.

In addition to Suzuki Seimei and the others, there were several students in the classroom, as well as the beautiful assistant Kasama Kikuyo who was in charge of managing the classroom.

Seeing Suzuki Seimei and the others coming, Kasama Kikuyo first distributed a yellow plaid apron to them, and then led them to the workbench.

After all the students who came to the class arrived, Mino Zongzi began to explain the problems and techniques that need to be paid attention to when making pottery in front of everyone.

Zongzi Meinong looked around at everyone, and said with a serious face: "The art of ceramics originated in China. As far back as 9000 years ago, Chinese ancestors began to try to use clay and flames to make the simplest pottery.

Huaxia's name is also called china (porcelain) in English. From this point, we can see the world's recognition of Huaxia pottery.

In a sense, pottery art has become a synonym for Chinese civilization.

However, Chinese potters are too traditional and old-fashioned. Although they have already developed superb pottery technology, it is difficult to break the traditional concept of "practical and as beautiful as possible".

As a result, the intelligence of potters is more restricted by "ware making".

It can only be explored in the field of pursuing design and formal beauty, and potters are closer to craftsmen, unable to integrate into the trend of modern art.

Until the middle and late 80s, with the intervention of Western modern art, it gradually evolved into modern ceramic art.

The role of modern ceramic art is mainly because it expands the artistic attributes of the original ceramic art, so that ceramic artists are not restricted by "ware making" and can be employed in the fields of aesthetics and value criticism.

Ceramic artists can not only continue to make a difference in the original design field, but also give full play to their artist nature, conduct valuable cultural criticism against reality, and thus set foot in many art fields such as sculpture and installation.

To put it simply, the difference between modern ceramic art and traditional ceramic art is that modern ceramic art is completely unconstrained, mainly depending on the imagination of the maker.

Of course!For those of you who are beginners, start with the simplest cups and jars.

It will not be too late to use your imagination until you have mastered the pottery making method proficiently.

The production methods of pottery art can be roughly divided into: blank drawing forming, clay plate forming, clay sculpture forming, clay strip building, kneading and green blank painting.

Among them, casting is the simplest and most common production method in modern ceramics.

Today I will first teach you how to make the simplest ceramic cups by drawing the billet. "

Mino Zongzi first gave Suzuki Seimei and the others a brief explanation of the development history of modern ceramic art, and then put the prepared pottery clay on the drawing machine.

Utilizing the centrifugal motion generated by the drawing machine, coupled with Mino Zongzi's dexterous hands, a delicate clay cup was formed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

So simple!

It only took less than a minute to see Mino Zongzi, and he easily made an exquisite clay cup.

Yuanzi and the others, novice Xiaobai, suddenly had an illusion of 'I can do it too'.

Noticing Sonoko and the others' expecting gazes, Mino Zongzi said with a smile: "Next, let's try it out for ourselves!"

The most critical step in making ceramics is mainly the subsequent firing. When making embryos with clay in the early stage, there is no need to worry about failure. Anyway, the clay can be reused.

Therefore, Mino Zongzi did not continue to explain too much theoretical knowledge, but decided to let Sonoko and the others try it out by themselves.

On paper, I feel shallow at the end, and I absolutely know that this matter has to be done!
Only when Yuanzi and the others did it by themselves, could they discover the problems they encountered in making clay cups, and Mino Zongzi could better teach students in accordance with their aptitude.

So when Yuanzi and the others started to make clay cups tentatively, they found that the clay was a bit out of control.

Obviously it looks very simple, but it is not as simple as imagined to shape these clay into the shape you want.

Brain: Easy!I will.

Hands: No!You don't.

Looking at the clay cup that was constantly deforming in his hands, Sonoko felt that his whole body was not well.

Although the method of making clay cups looks simple, it tests the maker's state of mind and hands-on ability.

You must be calm and keep your hands steady to be able to make the clay cup you want, otherwise the cup will be deformed if you are not careful.

"Not bad! The talents of the three of you are very good!"

Compared with Yuanzi and the others, it is obvious that the three little ones are more likely to attract Mino Zongzi's attention, especially when he finds out that the three little ones have shown superb pottery talent.

Naturally, Suzuki Seimei needless to say, although it is his first time to make a clay cup, but with the blessing of the Dacheng-level "Magic", his hands are not only as stable as Mount Tai, but also flexible and changeable. Making a clay cup is simply as easy as the palm of the hand.

And Hui Yuanai, as a genius drug researcher, is the most basic requirement to have a steady hand and a calm mind. Naturally, it is easy to shape the simplest clay cup.

As for Conan, who is the least talented among the three little ones, the clay cups he made, although not as good as Suzuki Seimei and Haibara Ai, have improved faster than Mao Lilan and Sonoko.

Coupled with Conan's appearance as a child, Mino Zongzi would naturally think that he also has a talent for making pottery.

For an elderly pottery master like Mino Zongzi, compared to making a piece of valuable ceramics, he is actually more happy to see the emergence of talented inheritors.
