Art 399: CUPS 31-40

So, if you have been paying attention to the blog you know that my intent was to create 100 cups this semester.  And 100 cups I have.  I'm just way behind on my posts, and there have been a couple of minor setbacks along the way...  but hopefully I'll have the rest all posted here in the next few weeks.

Stoneware cups, Chris Pettingill Clay Mix.  Cone 10.
C   U   P      0   3   1
Fluted cup, Reitz Green, dipped.  Gas-fired, Reduction, Red Kiln
C   U   P      0   3   2
Sana's Green, dipped.  Wax resist.  Soda fired, 3-26-10
C    U   P       0    3    3
Resist etching, white slip.  Rich Blue, brushed.  Red Gas Kiln, Reduction fired 3-26-10.  Resist etching is a way of making designs and markings on greenware.  Wax is applied to a greenware piece.  Then a wet sponge is used to remove then layers of clay from the areas not sealed in wax.  The wax burns off in bisque firing.  I experimented alot with this method in later pieces using a more refined clay.  It was not as successful on the stoneware.
