Workshop Content FAQ *

  • In this two-hour workshop, I cover:

    • How to apply underglaze to bone dry porcelain pots 

    • How to layer newsprint resists to define edges and break up layers of color

    • How to mitigate bleeding underneath stencils

    • How to achieve smooth gradient transitions between colors

    • How to clean up accidents or mistakes that can happen throughout the painting process

  • If you plan to watch and pause the workshop while you follow along, I recommend having the following ready to go:

    • Bone dry pieces to paint on (basic slab tile recommended for initially practicing)

    • Enough newsprint stencils to cover the painting area several times over, cut in advance (stick with simple shapes while you’re learning)

    • Underglazes (at least 6 total, 2 light, 2 medium, and 2 saturated/dark colors. I use Amaco Velvets.)

    • 1-2” wide hake brushes (preferred, but other brushes can work)

    • Xiem tools Korean atelier flat hook blade

    • 1 - 1.5 mm stylus tool

    • Large sponge

    • Bucket of water

    Many of these tools and more can be found at my Amazon Storefront.

  • You can use this underglaze layering method over different clay bodies. However, if you’re looking to keep the underglazes as bright and true to their advertised color as possible, then I recommend porcelain or white stoneware. I recommend you practice on tile and test the clay body, underglaze(s), and glaze(s) you’re interested in before applying this to more intricate work.

  • I discuss my glazing process minimally in this workshop, but I’m happy to discuss any questions you may have. Email me at taylorsijan@gmail.com.

  • I recommend signing up for my newsletter at the bottom of this website for updates about upcoming in person workshops. If I have any upcoming workshops with dates set you can find those on my Events page.
