Slip screenprinted on newspaper, applied to thrown form. Awesome.
I’ve seen newsprint screenprints applied before, in Wendy Schirran’s work, but she didn’t do the little in-bteween step of adding more slip over the print before transferring the image. I’ll have to do some tests at some point, and see what kind of difference that makes (if any).
My name is Maaike Charron, and I'm a potter in St. John's, Newfoundland. I started fiddling around with pottery in summer 2006, when I was told volunteering in the local clay studio would get me free studio time. I mostly taught myself, spending a lot of time poring over books, magazines and websites, and occasionally pestering the more advanced (but very helpful) potters around me with questions. After about two years, I decided I'd gotten good enough to go into business for myself. This blog, started after my first big craft fair, was created to document the process of becoming a wondrously succesful craftsperson. (Or it will document How Not To Do It. We'll see.)
