Lately I have been doing a lot of ceramic underglaze inlay—sometimes called mishima, or slip inlay—and I just love the results. One thing I don’t care for though is when parts of my lines chip off if the clay gets too dry.
But Chandra DeBuse’s video reminded me of another way to do this technique: carve the designs through wax resist. I think this would solve those chipping problems I have been having, plus make the clean up way easier. In this clip from Chandra’s video,Sketch & Stretch, she demonstrates this process. – Jennifer Poellot Harnetty, editor
