Back by popular demand! This demonstration will focus on the techniques of layering colors of underglaze and wax to create crisp, colorful patterns on ceramic objects. Don will share the tools, and processes he uses to decorate bone dry greenware with commercial underglazes. He will have pieces in various stages of the process (like a cooking show!) so he can demonstrate all of the steps to the participants. Discussions will include, what is underglaze, and how is it different from slip, deciding when in the making process to decorate, dividing the space on your forms into areas for patterning (or not), choosing the right brushes for the job, and creating the illusion of precision while arranging repetitive marks into compelling patterns.
