I found a museum in Portland Oregon that is only for velvets. It's on UTube and fun to watch. I'm also watching your gallery thread, I'm ready for your next work. Here's what I did so far this week. After doing one at a time and lifting them to my turn table over and over I decided to use the mass production technique. So I stood up to paint them all on one side. Left them to dry then painted that side again and so on until I can turn them all to paint the next side. There are six sides to paint because I glazed the bottom too. Then I did the volcano in black and then the red in two colors. Three layers each! I can only fire 12 at a time because of their large size. 50 total. Hand painting soon!
