Plate designs in gallery
My two tree decorated entries on the wall in the Black Mountain Center for the Arts gallery. To the left is Greenman Live-oak Tree Plate...and on the right is Willow Goddess Platter. Both were drawn entirely on the bisqued ware with "designer liners" then the glaze colors (Mayco Stroke 'n Coat) were applied, then a thin coat of clear glaze was applied before they were fired to cone 6. Mayco came out with Designer Liners in about 5-6 colors last year, and I've enjoyed playing with the design possibilities on plates. The work of drawing then painting glazes on a plate does take time, but they feel like a good drawing or painting should, when the finishing touch is applied, I know I've done my best.
