VietNamNet Bridge - Coming from rural areas, used to work as building workers, brick workers, farmers but thanks to the special vocational training of a famous businessman in the port city of Hai Phong, they have become confident artists.
The ceramic enterprise of Mr. Bui Xuan Hai is located on the road
from Hai Phong city to Do Son town. This is also a training center of
over 400 people of different ages, from different regions. Hai said for
sometimes, the number of workers and trainees reached 4,000.
Hai’s six-no training principle is: not distinguish between men and
women; regardless of ethnicity; regardless of age, regardless of
culture; regardless of normal or disability; regardless of talent.
So, at the enterprise, it is no surprise to see a woman with the
appearance of a peasant rather than artisan; a little girl draws with
the right hand, the impaired left hand is also hidden in her pocket.
Among the artisans here is also a man of less than 1 meter tall who
steps out from the fairy "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs." However,
when drawing, they forget the everyday concerns to transform into
talented artists. The manager said the factory employs a boy who was
born in 1993 with congenital encephalopathy. After one year, he has
become the third level worker and earns in the highest income here.
"When he draws, no one thinks that he was sick," the manager said.
Hai will directly teach them the first definition, perspective, color
and the feeling of art so that they understand the formula…
At the workshop, not only artists but also students have income from
their products. After basic training, the best trainees will switch to
draw by liquid gold.
A gold painted plate looks simple but it goes through a cycle of 12
steps, which last in nearly two months. For special products, the time
can be up to half a year.
This vase has a height of 3 m. To complete this work, five artists had to constantly work on the painting for several days.
They concentrate to ensure the best outline. Sometimes they have to
use small pens with the pen point equivalent to one fourth of hair.
This product is being finalized by an artist nicknamed "hobbits,"
after more than two months of drawing. He said when water is poured into
the vase, the gold fish look like floating and swimming on the water.
Looking at the two artists, few know that they used to be farmers.
They said now they are able to draw easily like growing rice seedlings.
There is no standard curriculum, the training method of Mr. Hai is
let’s the artists promote creative imagination. Therefore, the dragons
are different through the perception of each artist.
Even on the same product, two dragons are also different from each other. This creates unique products on the market.
More than 1,000 gold-painted ceramic products are on display in the
showroom at Sofitel Plaza Hanoi. The price ranges from a few million to a
few hundreds and even a billion dong.
