More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
The development of paint-your-own ceramics studios, at which ready-made bisque ware 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 bisque ware and tile using commercially produced decorating colours known as under glazes and other materials to create beautifully coloured pieces. Practical step-by-step demonstrations of a variety of application methods - including brushing, shading, sponging, masking, sgrafitto, spattering, stamping, stencilling, marbling, majolica, and under glaze pencils - provide inspiration for decorating tiles, plates, cups, bowls, lamps, vases, and decorative platters. Davies also explores the creative possibilities of coloured glazes as well as decorating pieces after firing with acrylic paint and paper collage.
About the Author
Jane Davies sells her work at regional and national craft and gift show and licenses her design to manufacturers of tableware and other products, including Susan Sargent Designs. John Polak is a commercial wedding and portrait photographer

Format:Paperback
This is a pretty basic book.I had hoped it would contain a wealth of ideas and recipes for glazes. However, it assumes the use of ready-made glaze from the outset and so is limited to an array of ideas for the basic decoration of biscuit ware.A misleading title in my view.

Format:Paperback
This book is very basic and is for beginners who want to paint bisque fired ceramics as a hobby.
Format:Paperback
I enjoy painting as a hobby in a ceramics cafe and at home. This book helped me think about colour combinations and understand more about the glazing and firing process and it also gave me some new ideas that I have now tried out. For me its an interesting, colourful and useful book.
