We are all handmade white, very afraid of doing bad, so we chose a simple pendant shape, the main is a color transition effect.
In the process of looking for the color card after the completion of the color matching, I can feel the texture of the rustling outside the small box. It is difficult to imagine that this small glaze can become an enamel that never changes color after being fired at high temperature. After the teacher demonstrated how to operate, it was up to us to do it ourselves!
Here you need to be extremely calm and patient, and slowly do the smudging, transition, and achieve the desired effect. If you feel that something is wrong, you can ask for help immediately. The teacher will encourage you and be patient to help.
A small piece of enamel, after 800℃ high temperature firing, in order to finally shape. While waiting for the temperature to cool down, her color is also slowly changing, from the stone-like tan to the turquoise purple we want, and the marble-like texture is also slowly emerging
