Hi love the technique. Have you added wax/oil to the black underglaze outline? how come the glaze does not melt over and overlap? or have you used stiff glazes instead of runny glazes. In Cuerda seca technique oil is added to Manganese oxide to create a barrier between glazes. Would love to learn more
Hi Shark Bait- so, I am using two types of applicators in this... the small bottles with which I am applying the underglaze, I am fairly sure is 16 gauge. When I have finer lines, I use about a 20 gauge tip. The red bulb syringe isn't listed as any gauge, as I use inflator needles (like you would use to fill a basketball) and I grind or file off the tip so it is straight!!!
I would love for you to recommend basic colors you would use if you were beginning a new class of 40 students. This is my situation and there are so many to choose from.
How do you bisque fire your plates in the kiln do you stack them or prop them up on there sides? I'm starting to make plates and I'm confused the best way to fire them.
Hi Peggy- I bisque fire about 200 of these exercise plates every semester within a week of one another- when I bisque fire them, I will do it normally one of two ways. I sometimes fire them flat- in stacks of two rim to rim (as long as they are quite level) . The other way is I will take them and stand the bone dry plates on their rim, and lean them gently against some clustered posts. I do this most often, as it is faster to fire these little guys. If the plates were bigger though (as I do in Ceramics II with a platter exercise) I do not do them on edge- but do them flat rim to rim. When I glaze fire them, each one individually goes on a shelf, sitting flat on the bottom. If students have glazed the back of the rim, then I have them make a patty for protection of the kiln shelf. (There is another couple of videos on making patties) . I hope that helps?!

Thank you - underglazing was a bit confusing to me - applying/wiping it off

Do you want to dip glaze or brush?
You are using underglaze for the outline black.. does it show up as Matt when fired ?
It is slightly shiny, as the vapor glazing of the surrounding glazes create a seal that is somewhat shiny!
