ttERAMIC STUDIO 
21* 
the three overglaze problems form the comparative features. 
These latter are interesting. Three good, simple forms have 
been chosen — bowl, vase and plate — and there are no restric- 
tions as to subjects for design or manner of treatment. Surely 
here is latitude for the free play of our inventive faculties, for 
this group of six problems embraces the complete range of 
ceramic possibilities. To get the utmost good out of this 
plan of study we should each work out the entire six prob- 
lems. It is the way to learn, for at the exhibition of this 
work, which comes off the last of April, we shall have the 
opportunity of comparing our efforts with those of others, 
we may see where others succeeded or failed in dealing with 
precisely the same difficulties we ourselves had met. 
I believe that if we all take hold of this in the right way 
it will surely be the awakening of a general ambition to culti- 
vate such an appreciation of the beautiful as will not only 
affect the quality of our overglaze work but will broaden our 
horizon to such an extent that we shall endeavor to become 
independent ceramists, able to conceive our forms, fashion 
them in clay, decorate, glaze and fire them ourselves — each of 
us thus producing work which will express our personality 
and individual nature. MARSHAL FRY. 
SWEET PEA STUDY— MARIAM L. CANDLER 
SKETCH in the design with India Ink. For the delicate 
colored blossoms clustered in the centre, and the darker 
ones radiating from them, use Rose, Warm Grey, Lemon 
Yellow and Mauve with a little Deep Blue Green added. 
Treat the study with clear flat washes. 
The leaves and pea pods are in soft green tones, with 
touches of darker green, use Moss Green, Olive Green, Lemon 
Yellow, Brown Green and Shading Green. The background 
shade from soft greens to darker tones, using Apple Green, 
Royal Green and Copenhagen Blue. 
For shadow effects use Brown Green with a touch of 
Roman Purple. 
In retouching use the same colors as in the first firing, 
bringing out the details.
