In this post, Beth Harden shares tips on how she creates her signature stained-glass-esque surfaces. She starts out with inlaying black underglaze into her carved lines using her favorite precision-tipped bulb trailer to fight hand fatigue. Then Beth explains how she adds color with a custom palette of underglazes made by mixing varying amounts of white underglaze with colors to create various tones. –Jennifer Poellot Harnetty, editor
