Scelsi Posted November 15, 2015 Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 Hi everyone.I'm not expert on this matter, I wonder if you can give me some advice.Usually I work with ink on paper using lithography nibs that allow me to leave very thin and accurate marks.Is it possible to achieve the same effect through ceramics colouring techniques?How would one go about preparing the surfaces and which kind of materials would you recommend to use?Thank you very much.

Cline Campbell Pottery Posted November 15, 2015 Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 I've been able to get very fine lines with underglazes applied with some things like this: http://www.theceramicshop.com/store/product/18669/Applicator-Set/ These applicators and tips are like those that Lana Heckendorn uses http://lanaheckendorn.com/section/164467_Current_work.htmls The tips are available in teeny tiny sizes. They're used industrially to oil small parts. Good luck Cynthia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callie Beller Diesel Posted November 15, 2015 Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 Carole Epp, of Musing About Mud fame applies cold wax to her greenware and scratches her drawing lines through with a sewing needle. Then she fills it with black underglaze and wipes off. Colour is added after bisque. She gets an extremely fine line doing this. http://www.caroleepp.com/functional-gallery.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronfire Posted November 15, 2015 Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 There is a pen I used for drafting many years ago that you filled with ink, they should also work with underglaze if you hate it down some. Here is a link for the type of pen that should work. http://www.jetpens.com/Rotring-Isograph-Pen-0.5-mm/pd/14709 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyAmores Posted November 16, 2015 Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 Sgraffito might be a good match for your skills: I've seen other lithographers do great work with this technique. Underglaze is brushed on leather hard clay, and it feels relatively dry (not bone dry) it can be carved. Hope you post your work when complete, I love to see illustrators who have made the transition to clay, you come with a unique set of skills that transfers very well to this medium. You might also want to look into silkscreening and monoprinting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rayaldridge Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 This is scratched into near-dry clay, bisqued, and then rubbed with black stain. Resists are also involved in some areas of the piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
