New Treasures


These magazines were purchased the other week at Carolina Clay Connection in Charlotte. They include articles by Molly Hatch and Shoko Teruyama about their forming and surface decorating techniques. I am most interested in trying mishima, a traditional Korean slip-inlay technique that Molly Hatch uses. I could then draw on clay with fine lines resembling pencil or pen marks on paper. I love the motifs that Shoko scratches into the white slip (a technique termed sgraffito). Both ladies utilize translucent colored glazes over their images.
