As another senior, I could really relate to the "where did I put that?" subtle look on your face! Great work!! I'm new at this and you are such an inspiration!
The difference between underglazes and slips are: Underglazes are a mixture of Fritt's/glazes that have already been fired and are stable and re ground into powders and then gum arabic & water etc is added to make a paint that can be used on greenware or on bisque. Slips are basically a mixture of clay and colourants like Oxides to make a coloured clay. If you add slips over underglazes you will have issues with the slips cracking and flaking off (You can put underglazes over slips obviously) Mayco fundamentals are underglazes the black mason stain would be a clay slip.
Would you be able to tell me why she added a different color on top of another? This isn't monoprinting. Also she seems to be using slips and underglaze interchangeably, I wonder if she had any trouble with flaking. I tried using a scrap and rolling it into the slab but mine seems to pull away and not attach completely, both pieces were the same wetness. I love this technique and you get to be so creative.
@@jb3833Slips and underglazes can be used interchangeably on raw clay. Underglazes can also be used on bisqueware. Slip cannot be used on bisqueware; it will flake off.
Also slips should not be used over underglaze as they will often crack and fall off as slips are a clay base, underglazes are basically a glaze base. Slips are clay with stains added, stains are things like mason stains, or say copper oxide added and generally you add about 10% stain to a uncoloured slip
@@jb3833 you can buy coloured slips but it’s way Cheaper to make your own. Slips are basically a watered down clay body. You produce slip when you are working on the wheel, for example, it’s that yogurt consistency clay that is produced when you wet the clay and work it with your hands.
Wonderful! So funny that I was trying just last night to work out some of Lana's techniques and of course trying to make them my own as you do, but I went too far, and your great video reminded me that less is more. Thank you.
I wish the camera person would have zoomed into the fired pieces so we could have seen the end result. Could not get a good view of the detail from that poor camera work.
If you have thickish layers when you cut through in certain ways - like when she makes circles with the loop tool - then you’ll see all the colours in the layers at the edges of the shape. Or you can use less pressure with a tool and only cut to the color below, not down to the raw clay. There is a good example of the former on another video on the little street pottery channel, that makes it more clear, I’ll see if I can find it and link it
Some people are just wonderful, she is the one. She makes my heart soft. Thank you dear Mary.
OH MY GOSH THIS IS SO WONDERFUL!!! Thank you!!!

You make it look easy to create your beautiful art…as a fledgling (but senior citizen) hand builder, I am in awe. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much for sharing your art
Thank you. Very insightful.

What is a color slip? How do you make it or where is it bought?

ty I enjoyed this. Lots of food for thought.
Fabulous video - thank you for sharing your knowledge!

fabulous. you make it look so easy.
Very inspiring!
So beautiful
I wonder if you could post the picture of her chart of mixtures and percentages...
Go to time stamp 33:04, there is a brief screen shot, pause to read.
I feel the same way!
How do you color slip?
Do you cover this with a clear glaze?
❤❤❤

At the end of the video, there are still shots, which you can pause and then zoom into to see the piece.
I want to search this lady, her work is amazing. What's her name, can any one help?
She says it, Mary Lafleur.
What occurs when you add a different colored slip over another colored slip? This isn't monoprinting.
