RERAMIC STUDIO 
PLATE DESIGN- ANNA B. LEONARD 
THIS plate is divided into twelve sections. (The quickest 
way to reach the correct spacing is by using the plate 
divider published in the KERAMIC STUDIO.) Draw the bands 
or circles next, either by using the wheel or by using Mr. 
Hasburg's clever little device for drawing circles on plates or 
vases. Tinting the bands is the next step. These may be 
in a rich green, or a turquoise blue. The original plate is 
tinted turquoise blue, obtained by using Night Green two- 
thirds, and Deep Blue Green one-third (add flux to this mix- 
ture, about one-sixth.) After drying thoroughly wipe out any 
of the design that is in the bands, either for paste or for color 
and fire quite hard. 
The blue should come from the kiln a deep rich color 
with brilliant glaze. 
Next draw in the design in each section which is very 
quickly done by using tracing paper. 
For the first firing of the roses use Carmine No. 3 very 
delicately, just barely enough to keep the drawing, use Apple
