Experimental construction with "cardboard" as a base.
We will apply several layers of stoneware and porcelain slip mixed with toilet paper on the cardboard piece until it is thick enough for the piece to have consistency.

We will apply several pigments mixed with glaze, powder and liquid.

We will also apply powdered stoneware and porcelain mixed with glaze to create crackled textures.

Experimental construction with "sponges".
We will work with sponges of different types showing several modeling options to look the different results after firing.

Preparation of porcelain and glaze mixture for immersion. Several explanations about glaze percentages and colors.

The sponges will be put in the kiln overnight to dry. (80ºC)

2nd day:

Slideshow explaining powder textures and construction of powder pieces.

We will take the sponges out of the kiln once they are completely dry and we will apply pigments to the dry sponges using liquid and powder matte clear glaze.

We will also apply a mixture of porcelain and dense matte clear glaze for a crackle effect. This last mixture will also be applied in powder form before the previous one has completely dried.

Explanation of the use of wax paper and aluminum foil for transfer as decoration and also as sculptures.

Preparation of a mixture of porcelain and glass as well as different pigments mixed with transparent matte glaze in powder and liquid.

We will build a piece with this technique by adding stoneware and we will also apply it as a transfer on our piece of cardboard or on the sponge.

Explanation of the plastic wrap technique for using different colored or pigmented clays in contact without contamination. Construction of several plates.

Firing.
