SODA-FIRED MANDALA PLATE VI
-
This Mandala plate is the latest of a series of six.
-
A silk-screen Mandala image was first made.
-
To apply the image to the plate, iti was necessary to invent a new technique because the elevated rim preventd me from using the usual method of transferring the image by squeegee.
-
The design was, thterefore, carefully cut out of the silk-screen to match the size and shape of teh flat surface. The pattern was temporarily pinned to the preformed wheel-thrown plate while it was still in its leather-hard clay state.
-
The glaze pattern of the silk-screen image was then air-brushed onto the surface and the pins were removed.
-
Construction sequence: Wheel-thrown, silk-screened and air-brshed glazing. Then fired to cone 06. Additional glazes were applied to the rim. Refired in a soda-fired kiln to cone 9/10.
-
Size 10.0" x 2.0".
