| Summary: | The problem being investigated here is the development of earthenware clay bodies and Egyptian paste formulae which can be combined in the production of decorative ceramic forms, and the development of some forms using these materials. Information presented in this report was obtained through laboratory experiments in which the formulae were developed, tested, and evaluated. Application techniques used are presented in detail, and a range of earthenware and Egyptian paste color formulae are included for the production of this ware. Physical and aesthetic compatibility of the materials is discussed. This highly textural, decorative ceramic ware matures and glazes in a single low-temperature firing, application techniques are simple, and the materials required for its production are found in all well stocked ceramic studios.
