B
Born in 1995 into a family of Tonghua porcelain(瓷器) craftsmen, Ye Hao naturally fell in love with this art. He has kept practising his skills for 10 years, bringing new life to it.
Seeing the number of people with Tonghua skills drop greatly in Chaozhou, Ye felt responsible (有责任) for learning and protecting the art. Ye began learning it in high school, believing that every Tonghua porcelain piece has a life of its own.
During a winter holiday, when Ye was practising carving flowers with his grandpa, his grandpa tried to teach him and laughed at the cracks(裂缝) in the flowers he made. "My grandpa told me that I had no feeling for the craft, but I didn't take it to heart at that time, but now I get to know he was hoping that I could practise more," Ye said.
He came to understand that moisture(水分) in the clay is important, as dry clay can easily break. After learning all the skills, Ye said his biggest job lies in designing. Since Tonghua porcelain features(以……为特色) over 10,000 holes of different shapes, designing them needs careful thoughts of their sizes and structures. If a hole is carved too large, it can easily break during firing.
Ye began to combine(结合) Tonghua porcelain with everyday things and his hobbies. For example, he designed a porcelain brooch(胸针) in the shape of a hand-painted rose. This brooch became a special souvenir chosen by the Guangdong government.
Ye said he would keep looking for ways to bring the art into everyday life and show it to more people using fresh designs.
