Or: Everything you wanted to know about glazing plates but were afraid to ask.
First, I painted iron oxide on the rims and backs...
Then, I painted dots with white and jade glaze and then waxed over them. (Uh oh, the sun's going down...)
I also painted wax dots on the back (you'll see why very soon!) I thought the waxing and dot-painting would take about an hour... It was more like four.
I dipped the entire plate in green glaze. The glaze doesn't adhere to the areas I'd waxed (the rim and the bottom).
Finished! All four dinner plates turned out well: no cracking or other problems.
Pretty nifty! They're about 10 inches in diameter.
