Slipping the rims of Pillars of Hercules plates

The rims of our plates are to have the name of the clay source written on them. We paint a white clay (ball clay, from Devon) on first then the writing will be scratched through to reveal the dark clay again. This is called sgraffito.





A line helps to define the edge.

I also make a line on the inner rim.
