During his five years in Yixing Zisha Craft Factory, Shao Guofeng not only learned the techniques and skills of making teapot from the masters, but also often asked them about the historical inheritance and cultural connotation of teapot. In order to be familiar with all kinds of mud, he waded through mountains and rivers and explored all kinds of mines. In order to observe the famous purple sand works of past dynasties, he traveled all over the major museums in China and often looked at those classic purple sand pots for half a day. Every time he returned to Yixing from other places, Shao Guofeng would shut himself in the studio and quietly pour the spirit and rhyme of Zisha into every work.
After nearly 20 years of continuous study and accumulation, Shao Guofeng learned from others and formed a unique style of pot art in practice. His works are based on inheriting the classic purple sand art of past dynasties, integrating practicality and artistry, and strengthening the simplicity, elegance and generosity of sand art on the basis of retaining the charm of traditional pot shape; It not only pays attention to the completeness of form and the application of function, but also embodies the depth of skill.
