Dalzell Crafts and Ceramics Bisque
Description
Excerpted from the website:
- The world of ceramics is a very interesting and rewarding hobby, it all starts with a mold made of mold plaster. A liquid clay called "slip" is poured into the mold. The water in the "slip" is absorbed into the walls of the mold, creating a shell or hollow shape, after the excess slip is poured out of the mold. The resulting shell or shape is called "leather ware". The leather ware is allowed to dry. Once dried it is called greenware. The greenware is cleaned and can, at this point, be decorated with underglaze and fired in a kiln. Once fired in the kiln it becomes Bisque or Bisqueware. If the piece is decorated with an underglaze it will require a glaze coating on top of the underglaze and fired again. The bisque piece can also be finished or decorated with unfired stains. If it is glazed it requires an additional firing.
