The workshop will explore and practice Tzadi=92s Cuerda Seca technique.=20
Cuerda seca literally means =93dry rope=94 and involves applying an oil=
based=20
black line to bisqued tiles. The resist line is screened, painted, or drawn=
=20
onto the tile. Then glazes are applied using eye droppers, bulbs, or loaded=
=20
brushes. The oil-based resist line acts as a dam for the water-based glaze=
=20
and becomes the black outline surrounding the designs after glazing and=20
firing. The technique follows an old Moorish resist and has flourished in=20
the Southwest during the late 19th and 20th centuries when it was used to=20
produce intricate polychrome designs. The oil based resist material now in=
=20
use was developed by Tzadi and is produced and sold by Axner Pottery Supply=
