Wee Men & Women Fixed In Time: The Technique Behind The Exotic Power Of Nao By Lladro Unveiled
What about Lladro Nao, Spanish handcrafted collectibles that spellbinds men and women around the world? How are they made to appear so convincing? As though they were little people, trapped mid-emotion in glossy porcelain? I will provide answers to these questions to the best of my ability because I want you to become motivated. I hope that you too will allow yourself to be carried away by the excellence, premium quality and pure emotion of Lladro Nao figurines.
Go HERE for more information on Nao by Lladro handcrafted porcelain figurines for collectors and enthusiasts.
I have been an artisan for over 10yrs, an art history hobbyist for more than 4 years, and recently I stumbled upon the NAO phenomenon. Now, NAO is an internationally praised brand, associated with elegance, and a first preference for collectors worldwide.
Each Lladro Nao masterpiece starts out as a significant instant acquired from life. The masterpieces are based on magical gestures in nature and popular culture that people would want to last forever.
Once NAO artisans have chosen a meaningful moment, they sketch their figurine concept on paper. Sculptors then solidify these ideas by building clay figurines; striving to create the emotional realism that Nao by Lladro is loved for.
Only after the clay model has gotten its special personality traits do the artisans' skilled fingers painstakingly divide the model into individual pieces. This is to ensure that each segment can help create a perfect mold for the top-secret Lladro Nao liquid porcelain formula.
When the porcelain solution has set the craftspeople meticulously reassemble the sections (from the molds) with the same liquid porcelain solution as glue and lightly brush the fragment joints with more liquid porcelain until the NAO craftspeople are completely pleased with the product.
Then, specialized porcelain paints that change into fine, glassy coats when fired, are applied by hand to the unbaked model.
Before being heated, the creations are protected from the elements with a small amount varnish.
Finally, the figurines are baked in special kilns, for more than 20 hours,until they transform into perfected Lladro Nao figurines.
