Ceramic Class Part 2

Image
The so-called finished product went through the first firing process (1180 °C ) by placing it in the kiln After the first firing process The colour changed from greyish brown to greyish pink Here comes the glazing process First, Ms Cindy asked me to choose the colour I like I like blue so she gave me a dark blue paint Next, you will use a tool to stir it This procedure continues until there is no lumps in the paint Then, she asked me to put my hand inside to test the colour The colour must not be too thin or too thick You must be able to see the lines of your fingers to ensure that the colour is good If the colour is too thick, you just have to add in some water If the colour is too thin, you will need to let it sit for a while and remove the water on top of it (the minerals of the paint will sink to the bottom forming a layer of water on top of it) After that, I used the tongs to clamp the ceramic and dip it into the paint She asked me to count until five and lift it up
