Tip of the Week
Comb:
A comb can become a texturing tool when scraped/swirled or crosshatched on a piece of greenware.
Eyedropper:
An old eyedropper can be used for a variety of decoration techniques. It also serves as a good measure for mixing underglaze and base glazes for on glaze painting.
Dental tools:
The next time you have and appointment with the dentist, be sure to ask him to give you a few of his worn out dental tools. They come in real handy for cleaning and even can be used for design work. Handy for all types of decoration in all areas of ceramics.
Glaze applicators:
Does anyone shine their shoes anymore? If so, empty shoe polish bottles (with the sponge tops) make great applicators for stain or oxide solutions. You can make squares and thick lines easily.
