A while back, I had the pleasure of hosting a Workshop from Home webinar in which Amy Irish demonstrated her awesome surface decorating techniques. If you were able to tune in, you were treated to two hours of totally inspiring techniques. If you missed it, I have a little treat for you today.
In this post, an excerpt from her webinar recording, Amy demonstrates how she roughs out the composition of her design with a Crayola® marker, uses layered underglazes and stencils to create floral imagery, and then tops it off with a thick slip to add texture. –Jennifer Poellot Harnetty, editor
