VietNamNet Bridge – The five-year-old boy named Nguyen Tam Phuc is very mischievous like boys at his age. But Phuc has a special passion for pottery paintings at his workshop in Phu Lang village, Bac Ninh province.

Born in a pottery making family, Phuc has inherited the artistic taste from his father. However, he does not draw on paper but on pottery.

When Phuc was two, he began showing his special love for pottery paintings. Whenever the baby saw his father to make pottery paintings, he came up to his father to imitate.

Phuc’s father, Mr. Thinh, says: “Kids are usually active and they are in the habit of copying the grown-ups. At the beginning, I let him to play with pottery as a game but after that I discovered his gift so I began to pay more attention to him.”

According to Thinh, Phuc’s first paintings were strange and enigmatic figures. Gradually, the boy’s paintings have become understandable, showing his own ideas.

“At the age of four, he began to cover his painting by soil. Though these paintings did not look smooth, they had their own ideas.

Phuc’s grandmother colored the boy’s paintings.

“The boy is similar to his father. He likes painting. He usually draws home utensils. Many customers wanted to buy his paintings but I did not sell them. I want to keep these paintings as keepsakes,” says Phuc’s mother.

Phu Lang, Thinh’s workshop is the only one that specializes in producing pottery paintings. As a result, Phuc is the only kid who can draw on pottery.

Some paintings by the kid are displayed at his father’s workshop. “Unique” and “special” are comments by visitors.
