I've been collecting these since I first saw them in the 1990s show at the Chicago Art Institute. The organic shapes (not shown here) of melons, bamboo, acorns, etc are so beautiful that my throat swells. Such incredible artistry and talent. The big surprise? That such a beautiful work is meant to be functional. Im not a tea drinker. But I wish I was. Thanks for the video.
Don't forget to season your collectable or they will rot from being dry. You must season them once a month if you are not making tea from them regularly steampunkthings.wordpress.com/chinese-yixing-zisha-tea-pots-care-preservation-and-more/
@@chetwhynot1779 thank you for your referral to an excellent article; however, if you season your teapot as it describes you may get a bitter tea taste in your pot. I like how this guy seasons his teapots much better; you may wish to watch it: th-cam.com/video/0wzsBNHO6C4/w-d-xo.html
some are done more slowly but in the factory styles they have in Yixing Province the process is a little faster. The ones that take a week will cost $90 to a few hundred. While the ones produced in a day range from $8 to $50, when they have 40 people making three pots a day or more they fill warehouses full and then sell them online or export ot China towns across the world.
It would be good if you could explain the process and actually don't block the view with some of the pieces you just made. A step by step explanation would be much appreciated.
Wouldn't be as fine in craftsmanship. I have a half-handmade pot (they used a mold to get the main shape, then finished it by hand), and it's perfectly fine. Thing is though, it's not as close in tolerance or well-crafted as that pot being made above would be. It's the difference between a functional yixing pot that does what you want it to, and a work of art. I'm perfectly content with my pot, but I wouldn't dare degrade an artist like this one by saying he should make it the same way.
It is a matter of art. You are right... not everything has to be art. You can argue that the origin of hand painting was to record images, and now days we have cameras which can capture the images much more realistic than any hand painting. Why do we still have paintings of British royal family and the US Presidents? Why not just take photos?
the music is so obnoxious and ill matched. if he had to listen to that while making teapots - they'd turn out awful. don't layer extra sound unless you're using it to support the piece.

Amazing skill . Love the music.
What kind of clay do you use and is it leather hard? Beautiful work!

Interesting technique.
You know slip form would be much faster and just as good to make these.

Randy Handmade matters. Its personal and we're in a golden age of handmade goods. People are tired of mass production.

Obnoxious music. 👎🏻
Video is poor quality
