stage 2 after firing the base colour to fix it, I paint the first layer of coloured stripes by masking and painting freehand. I work on lots of pieces at once jumping from one to the next to mix and match the colours I choose.

How many times are you firing? And are you then putting some kind of Matt glaze or satin glaze on ? The colours are lovely.
Hi Veronica, I usually fire at least 3 or 4 times often more. I leave the surface mostly matt but apply a few bands of satin or gloss glaze and sometimes areas of oxides. In this new series is work I am considering experimenting with more glaze on the final layer but I have never been a fan of a glossy reflective surface so we’ll see……
Thanks Rachel – as I am such a newbie to ceramics I really don’t know much about the glazing and colouring and are pretty much just stumbling through. I am always interested to hear about other’s ‘process’. I am also really impatient – once fired I think how can finish this! Love your colouring techniques – cheers
