Ok, I'm sure this will be a dumb question, so please forgive me in advance...
I just got back my first finished pieces. One is a square plate that I had
drawn a design on, then glazed with a medium green glaze. Well, the design
is nearly invisible (duh); you can see it in some light, but the glaze
filled the grooves and pretty much obscured them. Can I somehow re-draw my
design on top of the glaze, with something? Preferably something that won't
wash off, though it doesn't have to be food-safe. I suppose a black magic
marker would work, but I'm hoping there's a better answer.
Thanks!

Try painting it with a lower-temperature glaze,
and refiring to that temperature. Note: some
glazes change when refired to lower temperatures,
and some don't.
Personally, I'd call it a learning experience,
and spend mt time making more new stuff, not
fixing the old.
In the future, try a more transparent glaze,
which will accentuate the carved designs.

There is a glass paint that is heated in a regular oven to 300 degrees. My
daughter has used it to add personalizations to completed glazed ceramic
pieces. I think is is called Porceline - or somthing like that - is very
durable.

Something that I've used over fired glaze: a commercial one-stroke
underglaze product (such as Duncan EZ strokes), painted where and how
you want it and fired to cone 06. Most of the colors work just fine.
Not necessarily the most elegant solution, but can be nice. A plus - if
you don't like what you've painted, wipe it off!
