screen prints on ceramics

These are four prints i did on ceramic slabs. I made a silk screen from a photograph of one of my collarges of the Downs. I then printed this in different colour, thin glazes on to white clay slabs. I then etched into each slab and brushed in an iron oxide, which shows up as the dark lines in the grooves of my etched marks. I then did reverse mono-printing on to the images to build up colour by painting a think layer of slips on to torn pieces of paper and pressing this on to the image ( paper that stuck burnt off in firing). I finnally glazed the whole thing with a matt glaze, and once this was fired, used copper or gold leaf where there was once a windmill in the origional photograph.
