SALLE BINFENG

A COMPREHENSIVE SPACE FOR TEA CERAMICS ART

A THEME LAB TO EXPLORE THE CREATION OF TEA AND WARE

At the beginning of the new year, Salle Binfeng at the Town Center was officially open. Here, we share the life of making ceramics and creation experience.

Salle Binfeng at the Beginning of the New Year

/The Origin of Binfeng/

Several years ago, when Mr. Feng Qiyong was invited by Mr. Gao Zhenyu to write the horizontal inscribed board, Mr. Feng expressed the vision of Form Well-matched with Content by the word "彬(Bin)". The way of making ware is the integration of form and content. "Bin" comes from the name of Mr. Shi Dabin, a master of a generation in Zisha world in Yixing in Ming Dynasty, implying inheriting and developing his style and reminding all artists "The secret of tea ceramics does not mean skills, but pursuing the connotation of wares moved people".

/The Birth of Binfeng/

Both beauty and application are the principle creation line of Mr. Gao Zhenyu in Zisha and modern ceramics. Born in Zisha family, he experienced strict training of Mr. Gu Jingzhou according to traditional Zisha regulation. Later, he was influenced of modern Japanese ceramics in Masashino University of Japan. He has explored how to break the tradition and the modern and find Chinese original ware-making spirit. He integrates the original ware-making spirit into the modern life. Tea ceramics is the bonding point. The idea of founding Salle Binfeng, a ceramics space to create tea ware at his hometown, was born at the same time. After years' effort, Salle Binfeng was settled down at the Town Center of Yixing Yada Yangxian Xishan.

/Ware and People, Beauty and Application/

Tea, a item throughout Chinese sentiment and aesthetics, is both the emotional sustenance in refined scholars' poems and the greeting of common people.

In the scenario of tea, ware and people, beauty and application inspire each other. Yixing, the original place of Zisha ceramics is the most suitable place to create and talk about tea ceramics.

From Mr. Lu Yu to Mr. Wang Gen, continuous ceramics makers gave their answer. From Mr. Shi Dabing in Ming Dynasty to Mr. Gu Jingzhou in modern times, both tea persons and philosophers keep exploring the nature of cooking tea and making items. When boiling water spreads the inside and outside of tea pot, the color of zisha turns out. Water marks surround the simple and elegant pot body. Then the tea was put into the pot. The fragrance of tea comes out when the hot water into the tea. That is the joy of tea ware.
