I really like this new 70s retro style design. It's a bit like spirograph patterns I used to do as a kid and it works well on my background colours 😊

I have to squeeze as many pictures as possible onto each sheet as they are very expensive. Here is a sheet I sent off to get made into decals. ... See more

Then the outside of the mugs is dipped into the glaze for 3 seconds. When they have dried for a few hours, the glaze firing is done, to a higher temperature of 1110C. ... See more

These Outlander mugs have just had their first 'biscuit' firing. Next step is applying a transparent glaze. You can squash pots in for this first firing, but in a glaze firing they musn't touch or they will fuse together! Not what you want at all 😮😕 ... See more
