Project Tips:
Majolica is a centuries-old technique. In simplest terms, majolica is
a glaze design layered on top of a base color of glaze. In general,
apply three coats of a base color, let it dry and apply a design on
top of your base color. Beautiful gloss and matte combinations can be
created by using Series 2000™ Matte glazes as a base and Stroke and
Coat® for the design. |
