These are slabs of white clay, we added texture with doilies, pressing them on the clay slab, then we put the slab in a small dish to give it the curved shape (it’s possible also to dry it with a hairdryer). When it is dry you have to fire them in the kiln and then you can paint the doilies impression with colour for ceramic (these are coloured clay called Engobe, we paint the ceramic after the first cooking in kiln). You paint the surface with engobe that is like a gouache colour, then you can wipe the surface with a sponge so the engobe remained in the furrows of decoration and then you can add different colours. At the end you must glaze with transparent glaze and cook again in the kiln. You could even use directly colored glazes.
