Hey Theresa! I understood what you meant, but I like your version better, haha. Give it a try. I bet you can come up with even more creative designs 🙂

This is sooo exciting! I just love these!! I love the way you made the template for the vases as well!! Is the paper you use a special kind of paper? Is it newsprint? Thanks as always Anne.

Ah thats so fab, thank you for sharing!❤ Im going to give this a go myself this week. Is the clear glaze just brushed on?

@annruel1982

4 ай бұрын

Hi Gilly. Actually I didnt use clear glaze. I left the red clay unglazed. The only glaze I gave them was a solid coat of glaze on the inside and then I brushed a solid white liner glaze that matched my porcelain clay over the white parts of the jugs avoiding brushing over the birds. Give it a go. It is a lot of fun.

Is it okay to use white porcelain slip on red stoneware or red stoneware slip on white porcelain? I remember hearing that mixing porcelain and stoneware in projects can be a problem, but I can't remember why. Thank you!

@annruel1982

Hi Kat. I remember hearing that too. I think a lot of it has to do with the difference in shrinkage in the clays. My porcelain shrinks about 14% which is a lot more than some other clays. This is the first time I have bought this clay, so I took a chance on it as I liked the color. Im guessing the red clay doesnt shrink as much as the porcelain. To help with that problem, I put the slip on when the porcelain was leather hard (and vice versa when the white went on the red) plus I coated them with thin layers and let them dry in between coats. That seemed to help. I didnt get any cracking even when fired to around cone 6.

I'm assuming you are applying onto leather hard clay but It's not completely clear from the video so I'm just checking?

@annruel1982

4 ай бұрын

Hi Alison. Sorry if that was confusing. Yes, I waited until the piece was leather hard before applying the slips and the underglaze. You want the clay of the jug thirsty enough to apply the slip (in other words, dry enough so it will absorb the slip onto the surface), but not bone dry so that the slip dries too fast, shrinks and cracks off. One other tip is to apply the slip in thin layers and let it dry in between. If you apply it too thick, there is also a tendency for the slip to eventually crack. Good luck.

Anne, new to your site, where is the description portion so I can purchase decals? Donna from Leland
