    Hi Tracy, I use white, low fire clay. Sometimes also use terra cotta (red) but not as much. The clay fires to 1945 degress for bisque and 1828 for glaze. I prefer low fire clay because the lower temperature enables me to get much brighter colors in the glaze.
    This piece is done with my sgrafitto technique, which is my signature technique. I use underglazes in layers, then scratch in the design with a sharp tool when the underglaze is still damp. After the underglaze dries I use a clear glaze on top to seal the design and the clay.

    Thanks Rosanne, I'm glad you discovered me. I have to wear so many hats, and work full time at a "real" job, I don't spend enough time marketing myself. I'd rather be glazing..LOL
