Semi-handmade Shipiao workshop process
The workshop / Dingshu, Yixing

Three practices, seen in the making.

Semi-handmade trade production comes first: repeatable forms for professional tea service. Li Feng’s fully hand-built square ware and Lin Lai’s hand engraving show the deeper studio practices behind the same workshop culture.

Semi-handmade / Shi PiaoDai Liangqin · real workshop sequence
Semi-handmade · Xiao Pang Li

Xiao Pang Li, from clay to finished form.

This 15-second workshop sequence shows the body being shaped, refined and checked before the finished Xiao Pang Li appears. XJ-T06 is the matching semi-handmade model in the current Trade Collection.

01 · Semi-handmade · Dezhong

Dezhong, formed for repeatable tea service.

The Dezhong sequence follows a distinct workshop form from clay preparation through body forming, opening refinement, hand finishing and the finished pot. It sits inside the repeatable semi-handmade practice used for professional sourcing.

02 · Li Feng · Qingyu

Square ware built by hand as structure.

Li Feng’s square-form vessels are fully hand-built around slab construction, planar transitions and the relationship between body, lid, spout and handle. Qingyu is shown step by step from body refinement through the finished form.

03 · Lin Lai · Green Tara

The vessel becomes the drawing surface.

This Green Tara sequence shows the drawing carried across the curved cup and the line work cut directly by hand.

Two workshop paths / real examples

Repeatable forming and individual hand construction.

Use the examples below to move from process to an object you can inspect: Shipiao for the semi-handmade trade line, Yinao for Li Feng’s fully hand-built practice.

Semi-handmade example / Shipiao

Shipiao as a repeatable workshop form.

The workshop film above shows a Shipiao form being made through the semi-handmade process. In the current Trade Collection, Ziye Shipiao (XJ-T04) is the corresponding form buyers can inspect through exact-model photographs.

Fully hand-built example / Yinao · Li Feng

Yinao / 隐翱, built as an individual square-form work.

Li Feng’s making-to-finished sequence follows the hand-built form through shaping and hand refining. YA260001 keeps the finished work, workshop frames and process video together in the Digital Archive.
