This week we return to our Darted piece and consider our options for surface decoration. We will continue making our texture stamps. We will add decorative handles and sprigg molds using our magic slip (darvan 7 in the mix) to our darted piece. Next we will look at how to apply Underglaze paint and Underglaze slips. Linda will do a demo on how to make an Underglaze slip following this recipe:
