At least two more firings to go Working on an experiment with a Black Pearl mug. I slabbed clay over a 5 inch foam ball, let it set up, and dissolved the foam out with acetone. I let it dry and gave it three good coats of Amaco Velvet Underglaze. After the glaze dried I drew out my design with a gold Sharpie then etched through the underglaze into the white clay with a Dremel. So far, not all that impressed with etching it dry like this vs carving it when leather hard. I put it in the kiln today, let's see how it turns out? PS - there is a hole in the back to put the drink in with :lol:
