| The latest crop with sanded colors on brown clay... |
I've been experimenting with plates during the last year. I am a believer in practice making near-perfect. So, I've made a lot of plates, searching for an even, non-transparent glaze finish. The bottoms of the plates are not glazed, and are rough with canvas texture. The plate surface is glossy with clear glaze. The contrast is pleasing, almost like enamel, with the brown clay. I finally realized that several layers of underglaze make the finish smooth. I'm talking six layers! Lately, I've been adding different colors, and then sanding into the layers. I like seeing the raw clay underneath. Studies and practice will definitely continue. The possibilities are endless. Just check out this blog: http://aplateaday.blogspot.com
