Vases decorated with underglaze |
|
After the vase was thrown and trimmed, it was coated with a layer of underglaze (the darker color). Then leaves were placed on top of the underglaze with the vein side down and pressed firmly into the surface . Once the leaves were in place, the second, lighter color of underglaze was sponged on. When the top layer was dry, the leaves were removed. The vase is now ready to be bisque fired. |

After it was trimmed, this vase had the leaves applied directly to the somewhat soft clay surface. The underglaze was painted on over the leaves and when it was dry, the leaves were removed. This vase is now ready to be bisque fired. |
