These porcelain sunflower seeds are from Ai
weiwei (one of my favorite artist)'s ceramics art work!
There sunflower seeds are from an original set of 100 million individual porcelain
seeds, altogether weighing 150 tons.
Each was painstakingly painted by hand by
female artisans in the ancient Chinese city of Jingdezhen, renowned for more
than 1,500 years of ceramic making.
The final porcelain sunflower seed
looks from the outside to be remarkably similar to the real thing. These huge
work involved 1600 people to work on it!
Before seeing
these amazing porcelain sunflower seeds, the theme of ceramics in my mind
is really narrow.
After seeing this large-scale ceramics art work, I learned
more about ceramics. Ceramics can make into any things and any size, even a
really small size sunflower seed!
The video I found below which recalled
the whole process of making theses sunflower seeds! Please watch
this video! Its really interesting!
