#underglazes

[claypigeonpottery]

the grass is all overpainted originally, but once it goes through the kiln, the black hides any underglaze on top of it, and only the carved lines remain green

rambling about underglazes under the cut

painting with underglaze is similar to using acrylic paint, but they definitely have their own set of rules too

like acrylics

1. you can mix them to get different colours

2. you can apply them with pretty much any tool you can think of; brushes, stamps, sponges, textured things, whatever

3. they dry quickly

4. you can thin them with water to make a wash

unlike acrylics

1. they require exactly three coats or they’re likely to bubble or be streaky

2. the colour on top may not necessarily remain—darker underglazes can devour any lighter colours sitting on top

3. the colour they look when they’re applied might change dramatically in the finished piece

4. they easily wash out of most fabric and don’t stain canvas

5. used brushes can be left out and it won’t wreck them, because underglaze will always dissolve in water

6. old, dried-out underglazes are always able to be resaturated so don’t toss them

June 2021

Found my photo from last summer when I first attempted turning my aunt's cats into espresso cups.

It's an interesting comparison to say the least. I think my wheel throwing has definitely improved. The thickness and cup shape is much more uniform.

As far as the cats themselves go, I did try a more 3D than cartoon approach. And I tried to more closely mimic the face shape and characteristics of the IRL cats. So we'll see if that pays off when they're out of the glaze kiln next week!
