\u00a0All your tests with velvets on white glazes are still good with me — though not sure about food surfaces – they are so soft they would have to melt completely into the surface to be dinnerware safe. Of course you already know all of this.<\/em><\/p>\n Before there were GDCs, I tested the AMACO\u00a0Velvet Underglazes\u00a0on top of majolica. The results of this are posted\u00a0on my website Handouts<\/a> page. Some melted very well and were usable for majolica, some were very refractory and pig-skinned (so matt they left a crinkled, stony surface on top of majolica.)<\/p>\n David was in touch with AMACO, and checked on the availability of GDC colors at this point. He reported: So folks should get them know while they still have a great selection\u00a0at AMACO’s\u00a0retail store – Brickyard Pottery-\u00a0Cheri is the manager you can call 317 244 5230 \u00a0or Amaco’s\u00a0800 – 374 1600 \u00a0and ask for Cheri at BYP\u00a0.<\/em><\/p>\n <\/em>In my studio world, pink is safe, and so is brown. I probably have enough brown for the rest of my studio lifetime. I’d probably run out of the bright yellow (mixed with turquoise 3-4:1 it’s a great Chartreuse), Light Red, Pearl Grey, and Avocado first. \u00a0At one point, I did make it a project to use brown, just to see if I could. I do like certain browns – nice ochre-tan-saddle colors, and reddish, rusty browns. Below, a bowl from 2003 during the self-imposed brown challenge. Summer flowers on the front, winter leaves\u00a0on the back. Perhaps\u00a0the theme\u00a0presaged my later immersion in George R.R. Martin’s Game of Thrones<\/em> series and the house of Stark motto: winter is coming.<\/p>\n David Gamble, lowfire\u00a0clay artist, Skutt kiln expert, did an article a while back. I don’t remember where – someone out there remember? Tell us! – about the various products for decorating on majolica glaze. I asked David to recap his experiences for us. He said: When I did all my tests I found\u00a0GDC’s\u00a0seemed the best… Continue reading More Majolica Decorating Color chat<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[3,20],"tags":[22,21],"class_list":["post-262","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-ceramic-tech-info","category-majolica","tag-color-2","tag-majolica-2","entry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2xO7A-4e","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lindaarbuckle.com\/lindaarbuckle-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/262","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lindaarbuckle.com\/lindaarbuckle-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lindaarbuckle.com\/lindaarbuckle-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lindaarbuckle.com\/lindaarbuckle-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lindaarbuckle.com\/lindaarbuckle-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=262"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/www.lindaarbuckle.com\/lindaarbuckle-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/262\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":431,"href":"https:\/\/www.lindaarbuckle.com\/lindaarbuckle-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/262\/revisions\/431"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lindaarbuckle.com\/lindaarbuckle-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=262"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lindaarbuckle.com\/lindaarbuckle-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=262"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lindaarbuckle.com\/lindaarbuckle-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=262"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
