How do I decorate my ware?

firing

In firing a lustre/overglaze, the glaze is softened to the point where the overglaze settles onto the softened surface and becomes a part of that surface.
Overfiring an overglaze will cause colours to sink too deeply into the glaze resulting in distortion, fade-out or burn-out.
