Chapter 776 Cup Making
Su Yunshu and Si Nian planned to make a cup each and then give the cups to each other. The cups required few materials and were relatively simple to make.
The two of them quickly took their positions, ready to begin this novel pottery journey.
Su Yunshu widened his eyes, staring curiously at the slowly rotating disc in front of him and the seemingly inconspicuous mass of mud placed on the disc.
At this moment, she was a little confused, and the pottery teacher standing next to her took in everything.
The pottery teacher could immediately see Su Yunshu's confusion and helplessness. He smiled slightly, walked gently to Su Yunshu's side, and began to guide her patiently.
"Don't be nervous. First, put your hand gently on the mud and feel its texture." The pottery teacher said softly with a very gentle tone.
Su Yunshu carefully stretched out his hand and gently placed his palm on the mud. The moment his hand touched the mud, a slight coolness passed through his skin.
Carefully feel the texture of the mud in your hand. This mud, which is specially used to make ceramic cups, has a delicate and smooth texture, just like the wonderful touch of a piece of top-quality chocolate slowly melting on the tip of your tongue.
Every time you rub your fingers gently on the surface of the mud, you can feel the silky smooth texture, which makes you love it.
He turned his head slightly and his eyes fell on the operating table in front of Si Nian. His slender and powerful hands were busy, and the fingers of his hands had distinct joints and smooth and graceful lines, as if they were pieces of finely crafted works of art.
Each finger appears to be exceptionally flexible and free. It is said that people who play the piano have particularly beautiful fingers, and now it seems to be true.
Sinian's fingers are of moderate thickness, with round yet sharp fingertips, and they are born to play beautiful notes.
Su Yunshu's hands were also good, white and slender, yet not weak or boneless, and full of strength.
Su Yunshu stared intently at the unfinished clay piece in front of him, with beads of sweat oozing out of his forehead.
Si Nian on the side was also concentrating on the work. Under the patient and professional guidance of the pottery teacher, the two gradually mastered some key techniques and slowly got into making cups.
After some efforts, the general shape of the cup finally took shape. This is just the beginning, and there are more detailed steps waiting for them to complete.
Su Yunshu took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly, holding his breath, and began to pull the embryo carefully in an almost pious manner.
The cup was almost ready, but at that moment, Su Yunshu's hand trembled and a strange shape appeared on the rim of the cup. "Oops!"
Su Yunshu made quite a noise, and Si Nian also looked over. He found the twisted cup on Su Yunshu's operating table funny. "It's inevitable to make mistakes when doing it for the first time. Just try again."
Su Yunshu looked at her work with some annoyance, but she was unwilling to give up. She picked up another piece of clay and refused to believe it. She was so close to success just now.
This time, she was more focused and careful, concentrating all her energy on the clay in her hands, carefully feeling the texture and temperature of the clay, and gently kneading and shaping it with her fingers.
Si Nian silently watched Su Yunshu, with a glimmer of admiration in his eyes. He saw Su Yunshu's persistence and hard work, and this spirit of perseverance moved him the most.
Under Su Yunshu's careful carving, the cup gradually took shape. Although it was not perfect yet, it had made great progress.
Su Yunshu couldn't help but reveal a satisfied smile on his face, his eyes full of a sense of accomplishment.
Si Nian looked at Su Yunshu's smug smile and knew that he should praise her at this moment, "Well done, keep it up."
Su Yunshu was encouraged and full of energy. He immersed himself in the joy of creation again and continued to perfect the details of the cup.
Si Nian stared at Su Yunshu's focused and meticulous look quietly, and couldn't help but feel admiration in his heart. Seeing how seriously she took the work in front of her, Si Nian's originally somewhat impetuous mood instantly settled down. He took a deep breath and refocused his attention on the unfinished work in his hands.
Although Si Nian did not make as obvious a mistake as Su Yunshu, one has to admit that the cups he made were not really beautiful in terms of appearance or details.
