When potters are ready to go beyond dipping, pouring and brushing the same palette of glazes onto their work, they'll find the alternatives to surface decoration offered here to be an excellent jumping-off point. In this collection, thirty of the most innovative and talented contemporary ceramic artists share the techniques and processes that make their work unique and expressive.
Surface Decoration: Finishing Techniques covers techniques at all stages of the ceramic process, including forming, leather-hard, bisque and even after the final glaze firing. Artists discuss their working styles and tools, some provide detailed step-by-step instructions, while others discuss their successes and trials in broader terms. You'll find information on glazes and glazing, recipes, embossing, sgraffito, brushwork, printing, patinas, roulettes, stamping, decals, stains, resists, slips, china painting, stencils, faux finishes, and more.
