Collection Tutorial: Thermoplasticity - Texture. Today, I want to share with you that when porcelain has thermoplasticity, it will gradually cool down from the heat preservation mode to make a work with a sense of texture. When the porcelain is thermoplastic, it can be shaped and changed in a certain temperature range without breaking or cracking. This feature allows artists and craftsmen to create in a more flexible and innovative way.

Under high temperature, this specially formulated porcelain will maintain its original strength, which is the unique solidity and durability of porcelain. When clay is fired into porcelain at high temperature, its appearance will be as smooth and transparent as glass, giving a clear and pure visual feeling.

In addition, the production process of this kind of porcelain is also quite unique. The original slurry clay will undergo high temperature treatment after drying and enter the melting state. In this process, minerals in clay will change, forming the special structure and properties of porcelain. Subsequently, the porcelain was gradually cooled down through the heat preservation mode, and finally made into works with unique texture.

Natural light Art study abroad The work shared in the teacher's picture presents a touch or visual effect similar to "fabric texture". This treatment involves creating tiny undulations or textures on the surface of porcelain to make it look or feel like fabric. Such porcelain works not only have unique visual effects, but also provide unique tactile experience.

　　 Possible changes and characteristics:

 Strength and durability: Although it has thermoplasticity, porcelain still maintains its inherent strength and durability after cooling, so that it can withstand wear in daily use.

 Combination of art and function: This specially formulated porcelain can be used to make articles with both artistic value and practical functions, such as tableware, vases, decorations, etc.

▄ Freedom of shaping: Thermoplastic porcelain can be shaped into various shapes under high temperature, and designers can make porcelain works of art in different shapes according to their own creativity.

 Transparent texture: porcelain can achieve a more transparent and shiny surface effect in the thermoplastic state, similar to glass products. This kind of transparent texture can make porcelain works show a unique aesthetic feeling in the light.

When using this specially formulated porcelain, it should be noted that although it has thermoplasticity at high temperatures, it will become very hard and durable after cooling, so precise control of temperature and time is required in the shaping and creation process. In addition, because the production process of this kind of porcelain may be complex, the creation process should be recorded and explained in detail when the works are displayed in a centralized way, so that the audience can better understand and appreciate the uniqueness of the works.

What do fashion designers pay attention to: fabric transformation? Silhouette? Brand concept?
