Hi Clayarters!
It has been a while since I have been on the list.... I need your help!
I have submitted a book proposal to Lark Books, for a book that would
highlight post fired finishes. They have interest in the book, but
need to feel confident that there is a customer base that would support
it. Here is where you all come in.
I need to get the names and if they have any images on line the links
to websites of anyone you know that is using or has used post fired
finishes (also known as cold finishes, alternative finishes, room
temperature glazes) on their clay.
Please, I hope you will take a few minutes to email me anyone you can
think of! I truly believe this would be an amazing book. Thanks in
advance for any assistance you can offer me!

Hey Marie,
Look up Leanne Blake Pizio in Oak Ridge, NC. www.threedogspottery.com =
and there is also some of her work on my website =
http://www.living-tree.net . I can't remember if we put any of these on =
the sites, but she does some really awesome masks that are painted w/ =
acrylics, as well as some sculptural forms. You should have seen the =
chickens she did a few years ago; they were a hoot! They had open =
heads, and I put one of those air ferns in the ones I had in my gallery; =
it looked like green hair....

Marie,
In addition to slip and stain, I use cold finishes on 'naked' terra-
cotta and earthenware,
http://www.kforer.com
oil, watercolor, acrylic, dye, resin, ink, leaf, stain, polish, wax,
varnish, lacquer, milk, tint, encaustic, transfer, collage, whatever
works. Or I leave it bare.
Also see http://www.greatpottery.com/AlyssDorese/alyssdorese.html our
own,

The history of (cold) polychrome clay would be particularly interesting.
Sounds fun, Good luck!

I sometimes use gilt paint on some of my sculptures: www.amamenec.co.uk (see
the Amaterasu wall plaques in the Goddesses section), and Rob Sollis
http://rob-sollis.co.uk/index.html uses metallic-effect car sprayed paint on
some of his pots.

If anyone else had asked for cold finish examples I would have pointed
them to your work Marie - you are one of my pottery heros! Otherwise :)
In the UK in a place called Compton in Surrey where you will find the
Watts Chapel, build by Mary Seton Watts (1849-1938). It is a
terracotta chapel, built in an Art Nouveau style. There is a small
gallery museum nearby and a few beautiful terracotta figures and bowls
in display cases, brightly coloured with a soft sheen to them.
The catalogue entry from the museum hasn't got a lot about them:
"Compton Potters' Arts Guild Coloured ware" Decorative household and
religious pieces in terracotta, painted in tempera and waxed were
impressed with a small circular mark 'P.A.G.' The paper label read
'Unfired colours. To clean or polish use a hard brush, do not wash'.
These were being produced from c. 1904 - 1910 and c. 1920. These is
only one page of illustration in the catalogue, with perhaps 20
entries in the catalogue list at the back with brief descriptions, but
they are lovely decorative wares, very Liberty.
There is frustratingly little published about her, either in book form
or on the internet, but this site has a couple of pictures of the
chapel, which is decorated in gesso but the colours & styles are
typical of the smaller cold decorated pottery produced later by the
Compton pottery:
http://www.victorianweb.org/painting/watts/architecture/3.html
There is a website for the gallery but all I get are permission errors
trying to access it.
I hope you get the go ahead for the book - I know I would buy a copy
and also recommend it to others who ask me about cold finish techniques.
love Karen Elkins - aka Kate Tiler
