KERAMIC STUDIO 
CANDLESTICK— THE CRAFTSMAN'S GUILD 
DIVIDE china into three parts. Trace design on carefully, 
and outline in India Ink. Do the straight lines with 
the aid of a small flexible rule. Clean with turpentine. Paint 
the darkest parts of design with German Black, mixed as for 
any painting. Apply rather heavily as this gives almost as 
rich, glossy a black as the dusted color. Lower part of flower, 
thin wash of Blood Red. Upper part, same color, applied 
heavily. The stamens and stem portion are gold. This is 
all that can be done in the first fire. 
Second Fire — Tint the leaf, panels, and grey portion of 
cup with Shading Green applied evenly and lightly. Buds in 
Gold. No outline is needed if the background is padded 
evenly to the edges. 
TREATMENT BY JESSIE M. BARD
