We've all had a
busy week here at The Ceramic Shop. Those of us going to NCECA are
leaving next week so we've been busy packing. I mentioned in the
last post that we are launching some new products at NCECA and I'd
like to tell you a bit more about them and how they work.
First of all we
are taking with us our own unique line of ceramic decals. There are
12 multicolored, easy to apply, 8 ½” x 11” sheets and they produce
wonderful results. These decals are available NOW on our website.
See our demonstration on application here:
First you cut out
the portion of decals you want, soak them in water then slide the
clear decal onto an already glazed pot or what-have-you. Then you
smooth it out and let it dry, fire it between Cone 018 and 1470°F
and you will have a unique and colorful piece.
I also mention a
new wax resist. Well, we are finally launching Mr. Mark's Removable Wax Off! Resist. It's an interesting
product that applies like a wax, but can be peeled off (unlike wax). It allows for endless possibilities in layering and intricate
decoration. A limited amount of Wax Off! will be available for
purchasing at NCECA and we'll have it online and in stores May 1st.
We also have a demonstration for the wax (I told you we've all been
busy):
Alright! That's
about it for the excitement. If you have any question please let me
know and myself or someone else at The Ceramic Shop will be more than
happy to answer it for you. If you use any of our products we would
love it if you'd share it with us. Post it on our Facebook or tweet
at us on Twitter!
Happy Creating!
