Process - Dye Versus Glaze

The colours on the porcelain is either sprayed with glaze or pre-dyed.

Pre-dyed clay is used for more specific items, such as the leaves of the narcissus.

For uniform coloured items such as the vase range (below), the spray glaze is used. The glaze is applied and before being heated. The process repeats until the ideal glaze finishing is achieved. The number of rounds is dependent on the size & shape of each item.

These are partially finished vases. They have just gone through the first round of heating. Awaiting to be cooled down before the second coat of glaze.

See the spray below. It's white plate. Once it's out of the kiln, we get a blue plate.
