[Guidance by famous teachers, extraordinary strength] - Zhu Feng, born in Yixing, the capital of pottery, in 1969, became a national worker in 2018. He has been deeply influenced by the culture of purple clay pottery since he was a child. He loves art and design and has laid a solid foundation for purple clay art. After graduating from Yixing Ceramics and Light Industry College in 1988, he joined the purple clay industry. He studied under Xiu Hong, an arts and crafts artist, and worked hard to develop a solid pot-making craft. In 1992, he entered "Fanjia Huzhuang" and became a student of Mr. Fan Weiqun, a senior craftsman.

During the creation and design of purple clay pots, I received careful guidance from purple clay arts and crafts master Xu Hantang and senior arts and crafts artist Ji Yishun. They taught by words and deeds, and their understanding of purple clay craftsmanship and art was greatly improved. His works are exquisite in workmanship, lifelike and novel in conception. He develops innovations on the basis of inheriting traditional skills and forms his own unique style.
