mixtures of color, allowing the bisque to show through by

Several colors can be blended into the sponge at one time.

Usually One Stokes are thinned to the consistency of light

cream for sponging. Darker shades will block out lighter

colors underneath, while lighter shades applied over darker

ones gives a shadowing to the area.

Color Washes and Antiquing

This technique is done on bisque. Dampen the bisque

surface with water so the color applies more evenly.

Create a wash mixture the consistency of milk. Use a large

brush to apply to the embossed area where it flows into the

recesses and crevices. The color will have a natural tendency to

be darker in the recesses while automatically highlighting the

embossed areas. Mixing the one stroke with Mayco Media

makes the colors brighter and more evenly distributed.

To antique, apply the color and then remove most of the

color using a damp sponge, leaving little color in the embossed

recesses. The consistency of the color is of light cream. Too

thin of color will cause runs and make the color penetrate the

bisque, staining it in a seemingly unsightly manner. When the

color is too thin, it can also cause the color to shiver off with the

glaze after firing. Too thick of color will not allow it to get into

all of the embossed areas and can actually repel the top coat of

clear glaze during the firing. It may cause the color and glaze

to pop off.

Allow the color to dry before removing it from the raised

areas with a damp sponge. Follow the contour of the design on

the piece. Wiping the wrong direction will cause you to

remove too much color, defeating your goal. Rinse the

sponge often to keep the highlighted areas crisp and clean. Too

much pressure on the sponge will also remove excessive

amounts of color.

You can also antique over a fired underglaze. This can be

done to a piece that has several colors applied to the surface, tie

the piece together for an even

look. The underglazes

should be fired to shelf cone

04 before doing this

technique. Antiquing with a

clear glaze is most effective,

but is also quite effective

with a speckled or clear art

glaze.

Majolica

Majolica is a term

borrowed from Italy,

meaning the decorating on

top of an unfired glaze.

Originally the term meant

glaze over a white non-

moving glaze. Now Majolica most often refers to the use of

one strokes over a glaze, a procedure that gives more

predictable results. This type of decoration is used when a

desirable color or type of glaze is needed that would mute,

mare or discolors the one stroke decoration if it were done

under the clear glaze.

Apply the desired glaze surface evenly with the proper

amount of coats for the glaze. Thin the one strokes to the

consistency of light cream or lighter. Two thin applications

are better than one heavier one to produce the desired effect.

Thickness of the color is very important for this technique.

Translucent One Strokes and Opaque underglazes are

interchangeable with most techniques. Creating patterns,

banding, spattering and stippling can all be done equally

well with either product. Keeping in mind that One strokes

are transparent and regular underglazes are opaque. Two

techniques that you cannot interchange products with are

polishing and Majolica.

Underglazes

For a velvety finish to

the fired underglazes,

eliminate the second

of clear glaze. Or apply

a unique look. Apply
