Painted Plates, ‘Snow’ clay & the SHUFFLE

Once the early June celebratory time was over I got around to painting ten Egg boxes with underglazes so that I could get the most recent plates fired as well. 'Snow' white earthenware clay from Plainsman Clays has been recommended as a replacement for the Georgie's Wonder White that I have been using for some years now.

I encouraged them to join…
