捏塑陶铃

我们运用捏塑技法制作了这些小巧的陶瓷铃铛，每一只形状各异、声音不同。捏塑是一种可制作简单造型的基础陶艺技法，也是初学者接触陶土时最早学习的技法之一：下图展示了整个制作过程的各个阶段。

完成杯状雏形后，我们进一步塑形，并在顶部开孔，使其成为铃铛；随后，我们在表面添加小形装饰或刻划纹样。为完善作品，我们还另行制作了带孔的小珠，用作铃舌（发声部件）及外部装饰。

素烧完成后，我们用彩色泥釉装饰这些小铃铛与小珠：

最后，我们在铃铛表面施以透明釉，经二次烧成后，用细绳将铃舌及其他装饰部件装配到位。

Pinch pot ceramic bells

With the pinch pot technique we made these little ceramic bells, all with different shapes and sounds. The pinch pot technique allows you to make simple shapes and is one of the basic techniques to start working with clay: here we see the various phases.

After creating the cups we shaped them and made a hole on the top to make them become little bells, after that, we decorated the surface with small shapes or incisions. To complete the work we also shaped small perforated beads to use as clappers and external decorations.

After the first firing the small bells and beads were decorated with colored engobes:

Finally we glazed the bells with a transparent glaze and after the second firing we mounted the clapper and the other decorations with a string.
