In my old manual "Ceramica Viva" of Nino Caruso, I'm trying to translate into English the chapter of Egyptian dough. The Egyptian dough is a alkaline dough with vitrification to 920 - 940 ° C, is not very plastic but with the addition of Bentonite you can work at the wheel.
In anteprimale pictures of the chapter.If any of you help me in the translation, I would be very happy
Islamic ceramics from the collection of MAO in Turin. The color turquoise is the alkaline glaze, the copper black oxide changes to turquoise-blue
P.S. in these hot nights
sorry i can't help out with translation... always loved those islamic designs and the form on the left with the long narrow neck that flares out at the top, beautiful. looks like you've been busy too, i particularly like the watering can piece and its handle
RispondiEliminaI did it at college and it was a disaster it didn't work at all and I followed the steps very carefully. Good luck with it.
RispondiEliminaHi Filippo, I can't help with the translation. Is this the same as Egyptian paste? The turquoise colors are beautiful, so very rich.
RispondiEliminaYour pots are very beautiful so smooth and the spouts seem so perfectly formed. Love the jars too the way the bottom blends gradually into the top, very nice.
va bene polacco? :)
