Illustrative sharpie on ceramics

Sharpies on glazed ceramics

The idea behind this experiment was to experience a new way of producing an illustrative piece. The artist that links to this piece is Esther Coombs. 

Method:

1. Draw out your design on paper this can be thumbnail sketches or to the actual scale of the tile. You can also combine sections of buildings to produce a unique abstract take on the original piece.
2. Then you need to clean your glazed surface, using only a small amount of fairy liquid. Once dry you can draw your design onto the tile. 
3. After that you need to allow the tile to dry over night.
4. Once this is done preheat the oven to 250 degrees F and bake for 20 minutes. 

After care - The tile can be washed but not scrubbed as the design can be eroded.
