Chapter 236 Pottery Making
After entering the shaping stage, Lu Qingxi encountered a big challenge. She tried her best to follow the teacher's instructions, but the shape she shaped was always unsatisfactory. Whenever this happened, Han Yisu would gently encourage her: "Qingxi, don't be discouraged, take your time. Look at this part, if you adjust the angle slightly, can it be closer to the shape you want?"
Under Han Yisu's patient guidance and constant encouragement, Lu Qingxi gradually overcame the difficulties in shaping. She learned to observe every detail of the work more carefully and shape them with a gentler approach. At the same time, she also felt Han Yisu's care and support for her, which made her more determined to continue working hard.
When retouching her work, Lu Qingxi encountered new challenges. She found that she still needed to improve in detail processing. The lines of the carving were not smooth and natural enough, and the texture of the decoration was stiff. However, with Han Yisu's clumsy help and constant encouragement, she was able to correct some of the shapes. She observed every detail of the cup in her hand more carefully and carved and decorated them with a softer technique.
After some hard work and practice, Lu Qingxi and Han Yisui finally completed their respective ceramic works.
The other groups also got along differently. The first group, Yang Wuxi and Zhou Siming, was particularly different. They seemed to be on their own isolated islands, treating each other as transparent air, and were busy with their own pottery creations.
Under the bright lights, Yang Wuxi stood in front of the pottery table, her eyes revealing her love for pottery, but her technique seemed a little unfamiliar. She asked the pottery teacher for advice from time to time, and the teacher patiently answered her questions and guided her on how to better master the techniques.
However, despite her best efforts, the clay in her hands did not seem to obey her command completely. Her fingers left marks on the clay, and although she tried hard to correct it, some places still seemed not smooth enough.
With the encouragement of her ceramics teacher, Yang Wuxi did not give up. She tried again and again, and made corrections again and again. Finally, after many failures, she completed her work - a small bottle that was a little rough, but full of personality and unique charm.
The small bottle is not perfect, and there are still some minor flaws and irregularities on the bottle. But it is these imperfections that make it more real and vivid. Yang Wuxi looked at the small bottle and felt a sense of accomplishment. She knew that this was the result of her afternoon of work.
Zhou Siming stood on the other side of the pottery table. His choice was different. He faced a piece of clay alone and tried to shape a small bowl. However, unlike Yang Wuxi's ease, he obviously lacked practical experience in pottery.
His fingers fumbled clumsily on the clay, trying to shape it according to his imagination. But the clay seemed unwilling to easily yield to his will, sometimes too soft, sometimes too hard, making it difficult for him to control.
Although the shape seemed a bit clumsy, Zhou Siming was not discouraged. Deep in his heart, he had a warm thought, which was to make a small and exquisite handicraft for Lu Qingxi by himself. This thought made him more determined, and he knew he couldn't give up.
He knew his shortcomings in pottery, so he asked for advice from someone for the first time, namely the only male pottery teacher in the studio, Zhu Xun. Zhu Xun was obviously a little flattered, hiding his inner excitement, smiling at him, patiently demonstrating the correct posture and techniques for him, and guiding him step by step on how to better shape and adjust the details. Under Zhu Xun's guidance, Zhou Siming gradually mastered the basic essentials of pottery, and his technique became more skilled.
However, the production process is still full of challenges. Factors such as the texture, temperature, and humidity of the clay will affect the molding effect of the work. Zhou Siming constantly tried and corrected, and he carefully kneaded the clay, trying to shape a more perfect shape. Although every attempt was accompanied by failure and frustration, he never gave up.
Zhu Xun was always by his side encouraging him, his eyes full of affirmation and appreciation. He told Zhou Siming: "Ceramics is an art that requires patience and carefulness. As long as you work hard, you will be able to produce satisfactory works."
Under Zhu Xun's guidance, Zhou Siming started his creation again. He tried again and again, revised again and again, and each time he got closer to the ideal shape in his mind. Finally, after countless failures, he completed his work - a small bowl that was imperfect but full of personality.
The edge of this small bowl is not completely smooth, and the shape seems a bit random, but it has a unique charm. Zhou Siming looked at it, at the small handicraft in his hand, and his heart was filled with joy and satisfaction. He knew that this was a work he made with his heart, and although the process was full of difficulties and challenges, all of this made him cherish this achievement even more. He believed that when Lu Qingxi received this small handicraft, he would definitely feel his heart and love.
As the lights in the pottery studio gradually dimmed, Zhou Siming and Yang Wuxi both finished their works, but then learned that they would have dinner with each other. This news made them fall into a brief silence, as if they were shrouded in an inexplicable emotion.
Zhou Siming was the first to break the silence. He turned to the director team and said in a tone that did not admit of refusal: "Excuse me, can we choose to go back to the Heart-Stirring Cottage for dinner?" He hoped to have dinner in the cottage. After all, he hadn't seen Lu Qingxi all day, and he could see her as soon as possible by returning to the cottage.
The director team responded with a smile: "If you choose to go back to the cabin to eat, you will need to prepare dinner by yourself. In addition, I have to remind you that other groups will choose to eat outside." Zhou Siming keenly caught the suggestive look of the director team. He knew in his heart that this was the director team indirectly telling him: Lu Qingxi and his group would also eat outside.
Zhou Siming was a little disappointed by the news, but he also knew that this was the arrangement of the program team and he could not change it. So he turned to look at Yang Wuxi, and after the two looked at each other, they understood each other's thoughts. They decided to treat this meal as a business meal on the spot.
Although the atmosphere was a bit awkward during dinner, Zhou Siming and Yang Wuxi finished the meal peacefully. Silence was the most comfortable and adaptable state of getting along for the two.
After the meal, the two again asked the director team to go back to the Heart-beating House to rest. Their tired faces were filled with determined eyes, and they obviously wanted to go back to the house to rest as soon as possible. The director team looked at their tired but determined eyes and agreed to their request without any intention of stopping them.
So, as the night deepened, Zhou Siming and Yang Wuxi set out on the road back to the Heart-beating House. They were both glad that it was finally over.
