Last week in my SURFACE DECORATION class, I provided some simple leatherhard cylinders so they could all practice our “mishima” technique for the night. They started by painting the exterior with wax resist. Once it dried, they then started to etch their designs into the cup. The idea is to carve through the wax & slightly into the clay. Then we will inlay some underglaze into the fine line carvings. More to come…
