Soft pottery, also known as "painted pottery" and "barbecue mud". /kloc-In the 9th century, when German sculptors created this material, because of its high ductility and plasticity, it fully satisfied the creative desire of human beings and quickly became popular in Europe and America. Its changeable characteristics immediately become a teaching material to inspire creative thinking and cultivate cultural temperament. Until today, "soft pottery" is still the favorite of DIY people in the craft industry.
There are many English names of soft pottery, among which the most common words are "modeling mud", "baking mud" and "polymer mud", which translate into nothing more than "sculpture mud", "baking mud" and "polymer mud". It is basically a kind of "soil"; It is a kind of "soil that can be sculpted"; It is a kind of "soil that must be baked in the oven" with different colors, which can be polymerized into various ever-changing patterns and shapes. No wonder some people predict that "soft pottery" will be the most fashionable product in 2 1 century.
After understanding that soft pottery is the product of advanced technology, it still depends on skillful techniques to create good works. No one can imagine that the technology of soft pottery actually originated from the ancient glass craft. As early as the 3rd century BC, glass works appeared in Mesopotamia (today's Iraq). In ancient Egypt, glassmaking was once the most fascinating art in Alexandria on the Nile. It was not until the15th century that the Italians discovered the beautiful glass technology, and this technology was introduced to Europe. The European Renaissance in 16 and 17 centuries can be said to be the peak period of glass technology. At that time, this handicraft was called "Millefiori", which means "the patterns are as colorful as a thousand flowers". Today, Florence, Italy, is still called the "hometown of coloured glaze".
Later, it was found that the reason why glazing technology lasted for a long time was mainly because of glass. It turns out that glass has ductility and plasticity after heating. When different minerals are added, stained glass works will produce different lights and colors. With the progress of science and technology, the ductility and plasticity of "soft pottery" have surpassed that of glass, and its charm has even created an "alternative" craft civilization.
Soft pottery baked at normal baking temperature (150C~250 C) will not produce toxic or irritating gases. However, if the temperature exceeds 260C, it will not only scorch and melt the finished product, but may even cause combustion and produce irritating smoke of chlorine. So the correct baking is absolutely safe. When baking normally, you will smell some plastic, which is a normal phenomenon and will not affect the human body.
