Slab-Building Technology in The Design of Ceramic Lamps
Main Article Content
Abstract
Taking the design of ceramic lamps and lanterns as an example, through the analysis of a series of design components such as ceramic materials, modeling, forming methods and design ideas, and combined with the development status of ceramic lamps and lanterns at home and abroad, this paper discusses the feasibility of slab-building forming as a technique in the design of ceramic lamps and lanterns, as well as the innovation in the design of ceramic lamps and lanterns.
In this paper, through the exploration of slab-building techniques, it is found that Slab-uilding techniques is a common expression of modern ceramic art creation. Artists often use the texture, state, and suddenness and contingency to express their works. From the traditional single clay paste method to modern, the methods and means of slab-building techniques are becoming more and more abundant. Due to the diversity of production methods, this traditional technology of slab-building has been widely used in the creation of various ceramic works.
