Ceramic Arts Daily – Winter Project Time! 3 Great Video Tips to Get you Started

It’s winter and if you’re like me, you are thinking about some indoor projects. Maybe it’s time to spruce up your fireplace surround or customize a backsplash. To help get you inspired, we decided to have a sale on three of our DVDs that will help you get going on these winter projects. In today’s post, we’re sharing clips from all three DVDs. In the first clip, Stephani Stephenson explains how to make a shrink rule – a must-have for any architectural project. For this weekend you can buy all three DVDs for $99, or get 20% off individual DVDs. In the second, Angelica Pozo demonstrates the nine-tile template system she came up with to easily make consistent tiles. And finally, if you just want to make custom decoration on premade tiles, Paul Lewing gives you the low-down on brushes for China painting.

Love the tile cutting idea. The notch on the back for hanging is a really good tip. I will use it.

Your shrink ruler is GREAT! You make a complicated subject -math- easy to understand. Can’t wait to make my own. Thanks so much.

Your shrink ruler is fabulous! I didn’t quite understand why you divide 8 by 92 to get the percentage to increase the ruler. If the clay shrinks 8%, why not just increase the ruler by 8%? Thank you!

A question about the clay shrinkage video. Doesn’t the clay shrink again for the glaze firing? I always thought that it did, not as much, but that it did shrink? Great tips, thank you.
