Porcelain buttons
A while ago I made some porcelain buttons from impressed clay. I then coloured them using underglaze colours before having a clear glaze on top. I love the way the colour is darker in the impressed parts of the clay as it gives them more of a tonal look.
I've made some more which are ready to go in the kiln - this time I'm going to leave them plain to see how they look.

They're so pretty - what's impressed clay ? Does that mean the clay comes with the pattern already or do you use something to put the pattern on ?

Hi Terri
ReplyDeleteImpressed clay means that when I roll the clay out (like you roll out pastry) I use something to make an 'impression' on the surface. I have a collectio of old lace and table cloths etc which I use to create a nice textured pattern. I'm glad you like them :-).
