Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Ceramic lace processors are specialists who apply lace-like decorations to ceramic products. They form delicate lace patterns using clay or slip (dramage), and finish them through drying, glazing, and firing.
Description
Ceramic lace processors blend clay or slip based on product designs and apply lace pattern decorations. They perform manual mold pressing and delicate cutting by hand, apply glaze after drying, and then fire it. The work requires high manual dexterity and attention to detail, and also involves quality control and maintaining production efficiency.
Future Outlook
While demand for traditional crafts and high-end ceramics remains stable, there are concerns about a decline in artisans due to the overseas relocation of production bases and the advancement of mechanization. The key lies in shifting to high value-added products that leverage individuality and technical skills.
