Decorating Pottery with Colored Slips - MITCH LYONS

Frustrated by the amount of time between forming a piece and decorating it after a bisque fire, Mitch Lyons came up with several finishing techniques he could incorporate into the forming stage. Many of these involve colored slip. In this video, Mitch shares a few of those techniques, including how to make your very own clay pastels.

A genuine Kung Fu master of mixed media decoration - you must seek out his other videos and watch in awe at the innate skill and control he demonstrates over this medium - awesome

[@sybillestahl8646]

VERY interesting mix of techniques. I just wish we could have seen the piece after it was completed.

[@carolynpearce4829]

Just go to his website.

[@helenangus1675]

Love your way of thinking with design. Thank you for sharing.

[@walterjoemoore6732]

Learned a lot. This is my 2nd time watching this and now I get it. Thanks!

[@MuditisPottery]

It's nice to see this technique. I use vinyls on top of each other and use to screen print, so I was looking for ways to use the Mason Stains. Very nice, thank you for sharing this with us.

[@jeangarry8189]

Please what is organic color you used to make your pastels?

[@sallyweiner4180]

Wow nice

[@bleueyes28]

What is meant by adding "organic colorant" when making the pastels?

[@ruweidashakhshir2143]

Whats an organic colourant?

[@micheledickey4066]

So this is just underglaze that you made!!

[@carolynpearce4829]

No, colored slips.

[@tobykeane6214]

Mitch, please, how do you make powder out of the balls of pastel

[@oliverzutton3710]

Let them dry and then crush, pound or work through a sieve.

[@simone2787]

I’d have love to see the finished plate?

[@custardthecat5763]

So where's the finished piece ??????

[@trex2957]

Yeah, cool graffiti style, very quick and could produce cool and edgy results. The proof of the pudding is in the tasting and I too feel cheated by not seeing the result!

[@wendysilva5951]

@custard the cat Lol was thinking same thing

[@carolynpearce4829]

Go to his website to see finished pieces.

[@lisamccoy8512]

Like it

[@michelleparzentny9164]

Interesting but what does the finished piece look like?

[@micheledickey4066]

Can we do this with other slips that are not porcelain?

[@theabristlebroom4378]

Yes, you can! My understanding is that porcelain, being white, shows the colors best, but any type of earthen clay, not plasticized or Femo, can be used.

[@jillkaplan393]

Did u go to camp Hadar? Jill Kaplan

[@bbjo787]

Final product????

[@Orkidearosa]

Perché non trovo i sottotitoli in italiano.... è difficile capire l'inglese da come parlano alcune persone. Io sono curiosa su questo argomento per le mie creazioni,ma in Italia no non trovo nulla, sottotitoli non ci sono,capire ciò che viene spiegato è difficilissimo.

[@skelligvideo]

What is organic color?

[@CarodeDakar]

Le colorant alimentaire va faire la job.

[@Lisy8002]

Caroline Olivier please could you translate to English. I would like to know what organic color is also. Thanks
