Gary Jackson: Fire When Ready Pottery
A Chicago potter’s somewhat slanted view of clay & play

After working with our underglaze transfers, my SURFACE DECORATION class then moved onto BUBBLES!!! I mean, who doesn’t love blowing bubbles?! We took a little bit of underglaze, added a smidge of blue dishwashing liquid & some water… then started blowing bubbles with a straw. The plan is to blow enough that the bubbles grow & overflow the sides of the cup onto your piece. Leave the bubbles alone… let them pop as they will leave behind some great bubble patterns. This works directly onto the pots… as well as onto newspaper to transfer later.
