Not that our finished product would look anything like this, but this cobalt blue piece is a small speck of the work this woman has done in this style. I found it very challenging, and intricate. The process is worked the direct opposite to the way I think! You wax the white places so they don't receive any color, you wash areas from lightest to darkest, waxing over each layer. When you think you are at the last and darkest, you incise your lines and cover them with your darkest value. Right now all of us in the workshop have clay pieces that look like they are covered in green wax..and that's because they are! After firing, we will see what we have! Thanks to people who have talent and are willing to teach what they know!! It's a gift; a treasure!
