When you're ready to go beyond dipping, pouring and brushing the same palette
of glazes onto your work, you'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—forming, leather-hard, bisqued 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.
Whether you're a talented professional looking for fresh inspiration an enthusiastic
novice looking for something beyond the glaze bucket, or an instructor looking
for fresh course material, Surface Decoration: Finishing Techniques offers
the information, instruction and inspiration you need to move in a new direction. |
