The development of paint-your-own ceramics
studios, at which ready-made bisqueware 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 bisqueware and tiles using commercially produced
decorating colors known as underglazes and other materials to create
beautifully colored pieces. Practical step-by-step demonstrations of a
variety of application methods-including brushing, shading, sponging,
masking, sgrafitto, spattering, stamping, stenciling, marbling, majolica,
and underglaze pencils-provide inspiration for decorating tiles, plates,
cups, bowls, lamps, vases, and decorative platters. Davies also explores
the creative possibilities of colored glazes, as well as decorating pieces
after firing with acrylic paint and paper collage.
 | All of the techniques discussed are applicable to ready-made
bisqueware, as well as wheel-thrown or hand-built ceramics
| Explains the entire glazing process, from color and design to kilns
and firing
| Demonstrates a wide variety of techniques for applying underglaze as
well as information on colored glazes and post-firing techniques

| It’s easier than you think to transform
inexpensive ceramic jugs or other stone containers into true works of art
or turn thrift store plates into dinnerware worthy of the swankiest café.
The professional advice starts with choosing equipment and stenciling the
designs, followed by more than 100 color photographs showing proper use of
flat, round, and liner brushes to create a range of effects. There are
great project ideas and patterns for every month of the year. Try the
graceful lines and striking colors of the “Lilies for May,” which uses
acrylic paints in a “floating” technique to bring life to a drab bud
vase. Or December’s “Holly” design, which artfully blends accent
colors to turn ordinary serving pieces into the extraordinary |
