Binzhou Daily/ Binzhou Network News A pier is difficult to find? Let's take a look at the Huimin clay sculpture version of the ice pier - Recently, Du Zengxiang, a clay sculpture artist of The Soap Household Li Zhen Huimin Clay Sculpture, created a series of clay sculpture works based on the prototype of the ice pier to help the Winter Olympics.
"This ice pier is so special!" Du Zengxiang took a photo of the ice pier he had just made and posted it in the circle of friends, and after a while, he received a lot of likes and messages.
Du Zengxiang said that these days, the family's daily must-see program is the Beijing Winter Olympics, and he is also very fond of mascots, so he came up with the idea of making ice piers with the traditional craft of Huimin clay sculpture.
Unlike the traditional clay sculpture process, there is no mold to make the ice pier, and it is necessary to knead it by hand according to the prototype and then color it. Through trial and error, a beautiful and lifelike ice pier was successfully made. Du Zengxiang said that in the future, he will also try to integrate more fresh elements into the traditional craft of Huimin clay sculpture to attract more young people, hoping to pass on this craft.
As a clay sculpture artist of the "post-80s", Du Zengxiang likes to combine modern elements on the basis of traditional clay man technology. Previously, she made cartoon characters such as Peppa Pig and Gray Wolf, which were also exquisite, so that children could not let go. "There are too few young people learning clay sculpture now, and the clay people I make are aimed at smaller children, and I hope they will participate." Now there are many children who have learned from me and have received many apprentices! Du Zengxiang said. Editor-in-Charge: Xu Mingyue
