It's May again and that means it was time for another workshop with Michael Harbridge. This year we focused entirely on glaze projects. First up is swirling. We did four different ways of swirling.

This first project used Mayco's rapid roll as a base and then a few different colors of stroke and coat.


The rapid roll is the cream is base color. We ran a brush end through the glaze and then dipped the mushroom top in it.




The bottom was done with a clear crackle glaze and then filled in with black Duncan EZ Stroke




This plate was done with the black and white rapid roll. We squirted it on and moved the plate around to get the swirls.




How gorgeous did this one turn out?




This next plate used Duncan thin and shade and then squeezed on stroke and coats. It was then raked through with a brush. My first attempt did not work out and I rinsed it off and started over. This one turned out much better.




This totally reminds me of 80s spin art.




This last swirly project was the messiest of the four. We used Mayco acrylic paints. Since it's 3D it was just a lot of dripping. In retrospect we should have done this outside.




How pretty is my little birdy?
