To start this project, I hand built a plate. I did this by rolling a slab and cutting it into a circle. To bring the edge up, I rolled up around the edge to make sure the edge was raised.
Once the plate was fired I used three different kinds of glazes. To do this I dipped half the brush in one color and the other half of the brush in the other color. I did this to blend the two colors so there wouldn't be a distinct line in between the colors.
I then used a pencil and drew sea creatures on the plate. After I got the general shape I used black glaze to outline the animals.
After I completed the outline I added details to each of the animals.
The very last thing I did to complete this plate was put a clear glaze over the entire plate.
