All of the work in this gallery is cone 7 stoneware and foodsafe except for=
=3D
one raku piece.
These are details of pieces I have painted over the last 12 years or so.My =
=3D
painting method uses only health label safe materials but I get china paint=
=3D
ing effects from the brush work. =3DA0It is 100% lead free and dishwasher a=
nd=3D
microwave safe.
The method I use is not using enamels and I paint directly into unfired gla=
=3D
ze. =3DA0It took me several years to get the materials right but they are f=
oo=3D
d and working/handling safe. =3DA0It is only fired once for bisque and then=
o=3D
nce for glaze, so a regular stoneware cycle.
I am posting other galleries of complete pieces in the next few days. =3DA0
This technique is what I am teaching in the one day brushpainting workshop =
=3D
on July 11 and every other month here in Beaufort. =3DA0Students practice i=
n =3D
between, get more help to adjust their technique with the brush and then pr=
=3D
actice some more. =3DA0Just like brushpainting practice on rice paper, only=
p=3D
ots. =3DA0I teach 5 strokes and 4 loads and have made a DVD for home use.
I would love to see more people using food safe decoration on stoneware wit=
=3D
h the china painting feel. =3DA0It is an excellent fusion of asian aestheti=
c =3D
and brush methods with American practicality and materials.
And no cadmium or lead in your studio or your pots!
