Pottery Decorating Video: Trimming, Slipping and Raw Glazing for Texture and Depth
Last week, Mark Peters made a bisque stamp and used it in making a cup on the wheel. IN this week's video, he shows us his technique for finishing that cup. He accentuates that great texture using slip and glaze at the leather-hard stage of drying. He includes recipes as well as tips for success along the way. If you missed last week's video, you can check it out in the archives by going to "videos" on the navigation above or click here. For this week's video, just click the link below.---Sherman Hall, Ceramic Arts Daily.July 2, 2008
Today’s Video Tip of the Week is a good follow up to Mark Peters video from last week. Lisa Bare Culp demonstrates a similar technique to Mark’s stamped rim technique, but on a simple vase form. I think it can valuable to see similar techniques on different forms because each shape has its own challenges. Also, every artist does things a little differently and you can always learn from getting multiple perspectives. I hope this will get you thinking about other forms to tackle with bisque stamps. -Jennifer Harnetty, editor.
