To help you discover all the work behind each ceramic piece or to improve your techniques, I'm now sharing my workshop tips!
Let's start with my love of soft sponges.
The key to a perfect finish is taking the time to create a beautiful sponge finish. Safer for your lungs than sanding, a damp sponge gently rubbed on the rim of a bowl or on your foot will remove any superficial scratches or fingerprints. This simple step takes about a minute per bowl and makes all the difference. Rub in a circular motion to remove deeper marks. There's no need to spend a lot on luxury sponges; my favorites can be found in Quebec pharmacies. They're denser and more durable. I also have a soft spot for round makeup sponges, which are incredibly affordable and easily fit into handles and curves.
