Jeanette Butler - Challenge 25


Jeanette Butler

I've been going to a local pottery club for a few years now and recently thought I'd try combining ceramics with stamps and stencils so this challenge is just perfect for me to enter my ceramic plate.


I debossed a Clarity stencil into the wet clay and after a first biscuit firing in the kiln, I brushed underglaze over it which remained in the debossed areas.  A clear glaze was then applied and a final firing in the kiln.


Here's a close a close up of the finished plate.

  7. An ingenious use of the stencil and so stylish, Jeanette; could become a family heirloom! Takes me back to the heady days of my final year at college - my mum still has my bits and pieces on display! Thanks for the memory and entering the challenge. ;~}
