by shyrabbit » Dec 11th, '09, 14:07

Hello,
I came a cross these two short video clips of Zhu Jiang Long a master Yixing Teapot Artist and found them of interest, I think you will too. I particularly liked part 2. I really appreciate the level of detailing and finish.

Enjoy,
MIchael

Zhou Gui Zhen, born in 1946, one of favored students of Gu Jing Zhou, one of hand-skilled masters that represent Factory-1. She is of very few true skilled master who's still alive, and perhaps the most famous female artist along with Wang Yin Xian.

Can't say anymore, I mean, to acquire one of her pot in China you have to at least think about 5 grand :?

She does follow the style of Gu Jing Zhou, but with a more delicate touch. The pour is smooth, straight and clean, and that it can not be imitate. Just amazing 8)
