With skilled hands and creativity, Clay can be transformed to look like beautiful, fresh flowers. Depicted in clay aren't just the popular flowers of Da Lat such as roses and orchids, but also rare flowers that aren't present in the local market, like peonies. These are some of the reasons why clay flowers have gained popularity in the market today.
“Clay flowers are reliable, and can look as good as fresh flowers. They're easy to transport and maintain, so they've become a good replacement for fresh ones”, said Huynh Thi Hong Van, owner of Dalat Clay Flowers.
After it dries, clay becomes hard to mold. So making clay flowers, requires the skills of artisans, especially those who are patient and meticulous. For different kinds of flowers, there are many different types of clay one can use. Creating vitality in the flowers not only requires ingenuity, but also the heart of an artist.
People are fascinated at the products made out of innovation and creativity, so people don't get bored when they see the products and are able to find something new about each of them, said Huynh Thi Hong Van.
