Ceramics: Colouring Pots (Glazing Technique)

PLEASE DOUBLE CLICK IMAGES FOR THE LARGEST IMAGE


Glazes on Ceramics: I choose an image I had drawn previously from my journal and photo copied it.


 
The back of the paper was painted in a black glaze and left to dry (bone dry), it was then used like graphite paper to transfer the image to clay.
 
 
 
This is the completed piece before firing; the slab of clay was used with glazes the same way paint is used on a canvas.
 
 
 
After the slab was fired the colours didn’t come out as saturated as I expected the white also seemed transparent.
