Hangzhou's unique project will continue to run, the third round of "arts and crafts masters with apprentices to learn art" project is in preparation, it is expected that more arts and crafts masters will join in, hand in hand to teach everyone to learn crafts, inherit traditional Chinese culture.
Three years of 100 students
There were 38 winners and 16 were named non-hereditary heirs or arts and crafts artists
From 2012 to the present, after nearly a decade of polishing, many students and creators engaged in handicrafts may not be unfamiliar with the Hangzhou "Arts and Crafts Masters with Apprentices" project.
The first round, the "Arts and Crafts Masters with Apprenticeships" project from 2012 to 2017, was successfully concluded.
From 2019 to 2021, the second round of "Arts and Crafts Masters with Apprentices" project will be co-sponsored by the Publicity Department of the Hangzhou Municipal Party Committee (Municipal Cultural and Creative Industry Development Center), the Hangzhou Municipal Bureau of Economy and Information Technology, the Hangzhou Municipal Bureau of Gardens and Cultural Relics, and the Hangzhou Canal Group, and the Hangzhou Arts and Crafts Museum.
What is different from the first round is that the second round added short-term art teaching links, taking the first five "Crafts and Folk Art Capitals" craft inheritance workstations identified by Hangzhou as the pilot, taking ceramics, hand embroidery, bronze carving, wood carving and fan art as the five teaching skills, and using the "long-term apprenticeship (three-year) + short-term art teaching (January period)" model.
Among them, there are 5 long-term apprenticeship projects, each project recruits 3 apprentices for a total of 15, and cultivates core inheritors with three years of full-time teaching and learning.
In contrast, short-term art teaching classes are more grounded and have a wider audience .
With the goal of cultivating new craftsmen, it holds 4 sessions (hand embroidery class, ceramic class, wood carving class, bronze carving class) in three years, 25 students in each session, a total of 100 trainees, through government funding, to provide free learning opportunities for skill lovers.
From the first hand-embroidery class in 2019 to the last bronze carving class in 2021, 83% of the 100 students are still studying in the arts and crafts industry, 37% have established studios, 38% have participated in arts and crafts exhibitions and won awards, and 16% have been rated as non-hereditary inheritors, arts and crafts artists, etc.
The relevant person in charge of the Hangzhou Museum of Arts and Crafts, the organizer, said that the short-term transfer class has built a position for the inheritance and dissemination of traditional culture, effectively helped the inheritors to improve their cultural literacy and inheritance practice ability, and cultivated a new generation of inheritors with inheritance enthusiasm and awareness of inheritance, which is a measure conducive to expanding the scope of inheritance, improving the inheritance ability, and improving the talent training system.
The trainees not only improved their skills
I also learned the spirit of perseverance and perseverance from the masters
Zhang Qianpeng, a student of the first hand embroidery transfer class, still remembers the summer of 2019, when he rushed from Sichuan to Hangzhou to learn art.
"Every day I feel that I don't have enough time, so I think about learning more." Every night, our classrooms are turned off at the latest. Zhang Qianpeng, who was originally engaged in Shu embroidery creation, said that in the month of studying in Hangzhou, she completely opened her eyes and made up her mind to take this embroidery road well, "I remember one day, Teacher Jin Jiahong created works in the classroom, and the sunset of that day sprinkled on her body and works, which was particularly beautiful." In fact, this month, I have not only improved my skills, but also been touched by the persistence and professionalism of the masters, and I hope that I can also learn from them very hard and pass on this craft well. ”
Having the same feeling as Zhang Qianqian, there is also Jin Guangwei of the ceramics teaching class. He said that in the Chinese arts and crafts master Ji Xigui saw the four words "virtue and art double Xin", "In fact, I have been doing ceramics for more than ten years, and the progress of this transfer class is the largest and fastest. Moreover, from these masters of teaching, I know even more that in fact, skill is one thing, and it is more to improve one's own inner cultivation and understanding of art, only in this way can the works created become classics. ”
Liu Zhikang of the third phase of the wood carving workshop said that he was particularly grateful for this trip to learn and open a new world, "My profession is to do furniture design, but privately I like wood carving, but I did not find a good teacher to learn, I have been thinking about it blindly, fortunately, with this study, I led myself into the door, and now as soon as I have time, I have to polish my skills and integrate some elements of wood carving into furniture design." Liu Zhikang said that this month was the hottest time, and the 80-year-old master Zheng Shengning rushed from the city center to the school in Xiasha every day to give them lessons, and he was deeply touched by his dedication.
The fourth phase of learning copper carving Huashi itself is a school teacher, on the handicraft course, he has opened a special studio for making utensils and jewelry, this year's bronze carving workshop was completed, he sighed "there are still too many things to learn", he said that he originally thought that there was no difference between copper carving and polishing silverware and the like, but he did not expect to learn a lot of new skills, especially the master's creative concept and product concept, which opened up new creative ideas for him.
What the masters want most
It's about passing it on
Ji Xigui, a master of Chinese arts and crafts who insists on teaching hand-in-hand for a month, said that this unique domestic study class is also an opportunity to find good seedlings, and if she meets good students, she also hopes to cultivate well and pass on the ceramic skills well.
On the day of the completion of the workshop, Zheng Shengning, a master of arts and crafts and senior arts and crafts artist in Zhejiang Province, was particularly happy to see the students' works. "I have taught everyone the best things, everyone is working hard, and I hope that in the future, everyone will pass on the traditional skill of wood carving."
Jin Jiahong, a master of arts and crafts in Zhejiang Province who has been engaged in the embroidery industry for more than 30 years, said that taking this short-term transfer class is actually to let the personnel in the industry and other industry personnel learn together, everyone collides with each other, and then promotes each other, there are more innovations, so that the old craft can go out of the new way.
"This transfer class is actually an introductory course, the first half of the month is to learn the type of playing instrument, and the other fifteen days to learn to engrave on the bronze." Zhu Junmin, a master of arts and crafts in Zhejiang Province, said that the number of bronze carving inheritors is still too small, and he hopes to train more students who can devote themselves to bronze carving skills through the transfer class, and become a bronze carving artist through his solid skills and innovation ability in the future.
After a month of semester, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the current students have a very strong ability to understand and learn, and he also hopes that these students can always maintain a sense of reverence for traditional Chinese skills, respect handicrafts, and have a responsibility to pass on these traditional skills and cultures.
