More Piping Fun with Money Making Ideas

Join us with more piping fun with emphasis on how to use this technique as a money making tool. Not only will we review how to make a great piping media, how to easily pipe a piece, but we will show how one can make some money with quick and easy piped pieces. Piping is using a raised stand up glaze that does not flatten out during firing to detail and enhance a piece. The technique is not new to Fired Arts and many of you may know the technique as slip trailing. However, with this piping mix one can apply to greenware, bisque and over underglazes both fired and non-fired; whereas traditional slip trailing had to be applied to very wet ware. Our techniques and samples for this upcoming Wednesday Webinar will be useful for those who teach classes, for those of you who sell finished ware and for those of you who wish to try a new technique that is fun and easy.
