RIPerhaps one day I will again, but for the purposes of the work I currently do, I don’t use the ever-popular Clear Glaze in my studio.
When I was taught sgrafitto, like most people I was instructed to use underglaze, bisque fire, then coat in clear glaze.
I was consistently disappointed by 2 things which I was determined to find a solution to;
1. Colours changing, going blurry, fading or dropping out all together.
2. A glossy finish where I wanted matte.
I often filled the kiln with soaring hopes to have them crash once they were fired.
Over late nights pondering and thinking through my options, I set about building an alternative solution that worked really well, and also allowed me to expand into a beautiful palette of Natural Clay Slips that have formed a huge part of my work.
To learn the method I use which offers beautiful bright rich colours (right up to High Fire Temperatures), consistently good results and a lovely matte finish, join me in my online class ‘Creative Clay & Introducing Sgrafitto’
We go through a series of projects covering this and much much more to have you decorating like a pro.
