The inlay technique has been used to awesome effect for centuries. You create an incised design in a colored clay body, then add a slip in a contrasting color. When you scrape off the slip, the design underneath comes through in crisp detail. I have never been able to make it work. For these, I used rubber stamps on Ward’s Red, then used the white cone 06 clay on top of it. I’m sure I don’t have the right clay consistency, but I haven’t worked out the variables yet.
