Lizard-on-Leaf Plates

handmade plate
My first leaf plates just came out of a kiln. The lizards should have a touch of green here and there, but over all I'm happy with them.

Technical Tips
These were made of brown stoneware, bisque-fired to ∆5, brushed on thin layers of DUNCAN Courtyard Art Glazes, and then glaze-fired to ∆06. I mid-fired them first in order to make the functional ware durable. Don't fire the particular glazes higher than ∆06. At ∆04 they lost the matte antique look.

My Homework
The olive colored glaze I used on the lizards were not green enough. I'm going to underglaze in green before adding the DUNCAN glazes.

Yes, my works are for sale….
at Works in Clay Galley in Hot Springs and SD Arts Museum Store in Brookings. If you happen to go to either town, please stop by.
