Gary Jackson: Fire When Ready Pottery
A Chicago potter’s somewhat slanted view of clay & play
Categories: classes, surface decoration

So last week in my SURFACE DECORATION class, we focused on Mishima. Basically coating the pot with wax, and then carving through with sharp tools… like our favorite DiamondCore Tools! Then you fill the carvings with some underglazes… inlaying the carved patterns. The wax allows you to wipe away the “background” area more cleanly & easily. Then during bisque, the wax disappears & then it’s ready for glazing!!!
