Clay soap-dishes

Anche questi pezzi realizzati con la tecnica a lastre sono conclusi, decorati e invetriati. La decorazione è ottenuta con l’impronta di un centrino ricamato e l’effetto “pizzo” rende questi portasapone molto raffinati.

  1. Molto molto molto belli. Peccato che qui alla nostra scuola manchi il laboratorio di ceramica, forno compreso.

    1. This is white clay, we added texture with doilies, pressing them on the clay slab, then we put the slab in a small dish to give it the curved shape (it’s possible also to dry it with a hairdryer). When it is dry you fire in the kiln and paint the doilies impression with colour for ceramic.
      The colours are like SLIP COLORED CLAY (engobe), but you can also use UNDERGLAZE COLORS. These are all opaque colors, so, you need to glaze it with a transparent glaze at the end.
