Learn about antiques every day
Earlier, I also took a detour to find a famous teacher apprentice for 2 years, the tuition is not cheap, but usually rarely see the master, he is also symbolic to come, one by one apprentice seat to take a look, hmmm, just say it, I don't know why.
I remember that when the apprentice class came out, I tried to open a studio, but the business was not good, and I didn't look at the pot I made, at that time, my father was not in good health and had a stroke, I took him to the studio to live, I made pots during the day, and slept with him at night, and the days were very difficult.
I remember one day, my college classmates came to me, and he had been opening a store in Guangxi for 5 years. It is said that his parents have a fate, let him return to Yixing to develop, bring his wife and children back, continue to engage in purple sand, but must first make a pot to start, come to drink tea will directly say to me, my pot is very poor, want to apprentice with his father no. At that time, I was asked this sentence to tell the truth, I froze, I myself know, at my level at that time, it was almost difficult to make pots, and the level of learning was too poor, but then continue to worship the teacher, what about the tuition? What about time? Who does my dad take care of? My mother first objected that if a person could not take care of her, and if she spent so much time continuing to study, it would be equivalent to confiscation.
In fact, I still remember that at that time, I had agreed in my heart, I wanted to go, I had to go, I had to give up, so I tried to convince my mother, my father, during the day she took care of the whole time, and at night I fell asleep with me. There was no transportation, so I asked my brother to borrow a bicycle, or walk, and every day he went back and forth to learn the art.
A few days before the New Year, the master said that the tuition fee can be no longer, you and my son and classmates will learn together, there is a disciple who is almost a few days longer than me, we 3 learn together.
The master is an old-school traditional person, learning the art to talk about the rules, to see the teacher to see the days, but also to invite himself, who to invite, his friends, peers, said that they will take care of me in the future, the seniors should give me more guidance. Now that I think about it, such a tradition is really good. The first thing for a craftsman is to respect the teacher.
Although it is also a 27-8 guy, but do not like to sleep, I remember that I was 7-7.30 on time every day at the door of the master's studio waiting for him to open the door, the rain is no exception, the master is always around 7.45, driving a Honda motorcycle came, the first thing we do before the pot, is to clean, which is also the apprentice's rule. So much so that later I took an apprentice, and I asked for the same thing
The master is an old smoking gun, and often likes to smoke and make a pot when he comes. Often without hand to Tan soot, the soot burned to the head of his own fall, he directly spit out the mouthpiece. Every morning after the thunder is not moving, after teaching us, it means military, talk about politics. We are side by side and have a talking companion every day.
The master should like me the most, the little master likes to make a pot with headphones, the hair is long to block the ears, after a few times the master found out, directly beaten. My classmate, that is, the master's son, because he slept lazily several times, the master called directly, said that he could come to school, could not get up and learn from others, and then often fished for three days and dried nets for two days. I remember that the pot sample taught by the master is still different, and the sample is also locked in the drawer, and the model is equivalent to the drawing. My hand-held pot Fang Shan Yishi is still a model copied from my disciple.
After 3 months, I learned several pots, the progress is the first, because there is a foundation, so I learn fast, can't wait to take it to burn the effect after each time I come out, sometimes I like it, I take it to the boy next door, who is now a national craftsman, the pottery carving teacher Zhang Ye to carve. The process was very exciting, and I thought that my pot would come out very good and sell for money. Later to 5 months, I have been anxious to get out of the teacher, because to support the family, the master is still very reluctant, and then I asked him, my level can come out, he said yes, after going out do not suddenly quote high prices, first small profits, quick sales, receive some good customers, take it slowly, so I still remember this sentence, do not look at the money too heavy, talk about even if it is okay to send, talk about it, the price is high, do not sell.
So many years have passed, as long as I have time or run to the master, now the master is also thinking of calling me as a family every New Year's Festival. It is not easy to have such a master on the apprenticeship road.
Let's talk about this today, the apprenticeship path, the teacher-apprentice relationship.
