What do you need to learn first to get started with jade carving?

1, to make a jade carving is to sit for a day. If you can't go in and enjoy the fun, life will really look mechanical and boring. In the long-term jade carving work, lumbar and cervical vertebrae, pneumoconiosis, rough fingers and so on are almost every jade carving worker's occupational diseases.

Generally speaking, most people began to learn jade carving in their teens, but of course some people started to learn jade carving in their twenties. Even later, it was not suitable, because this line was urgent. Even if the talent was extremely strong, the hard work at hand could not be done overnight, and it took time to polish and precipitate a deep foundation.

3. First of all, learn to draw, which is the foundation of jade carving. Buy some introductory drawings of jade carving, start with simple line drawing, and then draw local and overall shapes. Don't covet too much at first. When you master the most basic lines and shapes, other themes are often interlinked.

4. Secondly, learn to use various tools skillfully. Generally speaking, as an apprentice, the master will design some relatively simple works at first, give a reference picture or work, say what tools to use, and then let himself practice.

5. A few months ago, I may make myself do a type of thing, mainly to practice the strength of carving and the use of tools, and also to sharpen my apprentice's temper and let him practice sitting.

6. Most colleges and universities have practical courses on jade carving, but these courses are often experiential. In this line of work, it is better to go to school with the master, and of course, it does not rule out that some successful masters open schools.

7. You'd better find a good teacher. Traditional handicrafts are best handed down by hand. There are some things and some feelings that can't be learned theoretically. The feeling of stones and tools must be that you are touching jade and approaching tools. Tools are your weapons.
