The Pizza Maiolica

Some fantastic glazing effects;On a transparent or white dry glaze surface I apply a thick layer of glaze glue(or wallpaperglue),and in this thick layer of medium I add some colors with a brush.The colors are floating on the medium,in above example a yellow,a bleach red and a white pigment.After adding with the slipbulb some vitrous engobe and voilá; la pizza maiolica.In 'the clowns car '(the above picture)I have done some of the buttons with this technique.

On Cruise at the Staycation

On the first day of my staycation I painted a cruise ship with biscuit porcelainslip.Beside all kind of facilities there is also a pottery on the ship.After some thin washes with the slip I did some quick impastos with thick slip.

Raw Glazing

My pieces are low-fire work.Also I paint/glaze them in the greenware stage, so I have to fire only once,which saves energy.Today I sculpted and glazed a rooster.The colors looks dull in the greenware stage.
