Today 5 Vancouver artists came here for the day to paint plates and platters I’d made for them. Paul Mathieu brought along two platters he’d painted last time to show us how they have been finished with outlines in silver lustre. I’ll just show those two first and make a second blog of photos of artists painting next.

Paul had painted bone dry plates with underglazes. After the bisque and glaze firings he wanted to tighten up the edges so applied silver lustre and fired them for a third time. The finished design is crisp, bold and lively. Aren’t they fun?
