nancylee Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 Hi all, I am fairly new to this pottery adventure, and in the studio where I learn, we use clay that is glazed and fired to Cone 6, stoneware. I love the colors, but we mostly dip and pour. I got a few books out of the library, and I am blown away at what some artists do on earthenware!!! I think my favorite is Jane Cox of London. Question: is her type of glazing only able to be done on earthenware, or can you do it on B-Mix and the 60 and 80 clays we have (and I don't know if that is the formal name or not. Sorry.) And are there any good resources I can find that will give me an idea of how it is done? Thank you in advance! Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Campbell Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 It would really help us answer if you upload the image you are talking about. If you don't have the book with you just google Jane cox pottery images and attach one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThisIsMelissa Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 I googled her. To me, her stuff looks like underglazes. Many of them can be fired to cone 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ELAINE BRADLEY Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 http://www.cpaceramics.co.uk/gallery_detail.php?member_id=110 Sorry if this comes thru twice. The link explains she uses slips not underglazes. I am guessing that dark slip and some paper resist motifs to form her patterns underneath the transparent coloured earthenware glazes are what make her work look so good - oh and of course - skill! She also does a lot of silkscreening on paper - which to me seems to fit her style of decoration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
