Majolica, faience and delftware all refer to Italian and other decorated tin-glazed earthenware where the artist applies colorants or colored glazes on a raw glazed surface. The decoration melts into the glaze during firing and results in a glossy surface that maintains the line quality of the surface decoration. In majolica, the potter has access to a lively palette of colors (pinks, oranges, yellow and purples) that add luster to the work. If the glaze moves or flows when molten, the design is distorted. Done properly, the brushwork stays crisp, small handling errors are forgiven, kiln firings are more predictable, and the artist has a beautifully designed and colored piece. Limited enrollment.
