"Tea" / "Coffee" Heart Tattoo Mug - Speckled Clay
"Tea" / "Coffee" Heart Tattoo Mug - Speckled Clay
This big, cosy mug is thrown on the potters wheel from speckled stoneware clay. Before the clay is fully dry, I hand-paint the coloured parts of the tattoo design. I then coat the design in a layer of wax resist, before carving the outline through to the clay below. Once the mug is bone dry I paint black underglaze into the outline and wipe the excess off of the wax resist. Finished with transparent glaze. You can see a video of the decorating process here.
