A Glaze of Color by Jane Davies
The development of paint-your-own ceramics studios, at which ready-made bisque ware and studio time for decorating it are sold, has made pottery decoration accessible to a wider public than ever before. Ceramics artist Jane Davies demonstrates how to decorate the surface of ready-made bisque ware and tile using commercially produced decorating colours known as under glazes and other materials to create beautifully coloured pieces. Practical step-by-step demonstrations of a variety of application methods - including brushing, shading, sponging, masking, sgrafitto, spattering, stamping, stencilling, marbling, majolica, and under glaze pencils - provide inspiration for decorating tiles, plates, cups, bowls, lamps, vases, and decorative platters. Davies also explores the creative possibilities of coloured glazes as well as decorating pieces after firing with acrylic paint and paper collage.
Jane Davies sells her work at regional and national craft and gift show and licenses her design to manufacturers of tableware and other products, including Susan Sargent Designs. John Polak is a commercial wedding and portrait photographer
