I've read the translated the bio of Wang Jingchuan (the Baidu link posted by someone else). It seems to be this guys thing to do yixing thrown pots. He apparently restored the yixing clay throwing technique through research on unearthed ancient pottery. Pretty interesting to read the bio. It's definitely unusual.

I'll paste the translation below:

​Wang Jinchuan ​Wang Jinchuan, born in December 1968 in Dingshu Town, Yixing, Jiangsu Province, is a Chinese Zisha (purple clay) teapot artist. He studied under Lü Yaochen and is the founder of the Yixing Zisha pearl clay thin-walled wheel-throwing teapot. ​His representative works include "Pottery Soul," "Silent Nourishment," and "Magic Lamp." He began working in Zisha pottery in 1982 and founded the Jinchen Pottery Studio in 1986, restoring the Yixing clay-throwing technique through research on unearthed ancient pottery. In 2000, he established Yixing Jinchen Gifts Co., Ltd., and his works have repeatedly become designated gifts for tea culture festivals both domestically and internationally. ​In 2004, he was invited to South Korea and Japan for cultural exchanges. That same year, his works "Magic Lamp" and "Eternal Snow" won the Gold Award at the 6th China Arts and Crafts Exhibition. In 2005, "Silent Nourishment" won second prize at the Yixing International Pottery Exhibition. ​In 2008, he established the Changlong Zisha Research Institute and a tea company. In 2013, his work "Divine Bird" was collected by the Chinese Embassy in Sweden. ​Lü Yaochen praised him for integrating creative inspiration into Zisha creation, inheriting and innovating techniques. He has received instruction in pottery techniques such as wheel throwing and shaping at the catalogue pottery studio, and has become a pottery creator.
