technical tuesday: Underglaze Tutorial – Opaque and Watercolor Techniques
This video is a step-by-step guide to using underglazes to add an illustrative design to your ceramics. I’ll show you how to create solid, opaque images as well as how to create watercolor techniques using underglazes. In this video I draw and paint flowers and whales onto a wheel thrown vase. Underglaze is my favorite way of decorating my pots! I love getting lost in the intricacies of the design and the repetition of the layering. It is not uncommon for a single pot to take me several days and even weeks to underglaze. The watercolor technique not only makes a beautiful design, it also significantly cuts down the span of time it takes to finish the underglaze because it does not require as many precise layers. This is my first video tutorial for clay and so I truly hope you enjoy it and will give me feedback! Happy Day!

technical tuesday: Archaeological Study of Medalta’s Kiln Room
In 2010, an Industrial Archaeologist named Talva Jacobson came to the Historic Clay District to complete an archaeological study of Medalta’s Kiln Room. We were reasonably sure that the foundations of at least three round kilns were under the concrete floor which was constructed sometime in the 1960’s. As Talva and her team excavated, they were indeed able to find kiln foundations as well as a wealth of other archaeological information which will aid in understanding the processes of industry in the early years of the twentieth century.
