Underglaze in pottery is a decorative technique where colored pigments are applied to greenware (unfired clay) or bisqueware (fired once) before a final glaze is applied. This allows for intricate designs and vibrant colors that remain visible even after the piece is glazed and fired. Underglazes are formulated to withstand the high temperatures of the kiln without losing their vibrancy or detail. This is the closest you can come to “painting” in pottery, since glaze and paint are completely different chemical processes and result in different colors.

Void Ass
My brother gave me the idea of creating various “ass” characters when I one day said, “my anxious ass.”
These little palm-sized gnomes were from my very first hand-built sculpture class. It opened up a wide world of hand building pottery for me!
This was my very first attempt at “painting” with underglazes. Cue a very swift, rude lesson in the difference between paint and glaze. One day, I’ll do another one of these with hopefully better detailed results.
This is the first bowl I ever made, and of course it’s a dog food bowl for my baby girl. I used green and pink underglazes for the decoration, and then I glazed it over in clear to make it food-safe and durable.
I made this dog food bowl at the same time as the Mimi bowl. I used orange and purple underglazes for the decoration, and then I glazed it over in clear to make it food-safe and durable.
I made this mug for my Dad in memory of his favorite cat, Rascal. It was the 2nd mug I ever made, and it really pushed the boundaries of what I could do at the time, sculpturally.
