"Now I'm going to talk a little bit of decoration without getting into glazing. I work with a lot of stamping and I have a couple of tiles here that they are stamped with these metal tools. These metal tools are from a old stamp and dye factory that was in Greenfield, Greenfield this whole area of western mass was known through tool making. So I got these tools when the place closed down and I use this tool to make to make this stamp, I push in, pushed in, pushed in. By pushing in that whole row, that whole row created a clover leaf pattern here and the particular glaze. The glaze that I chose is Saladin's glaze and it just pulls into the cross and it just gives it a lot of depth. This one I used the opposite of the tool the square part, it has a nice little whole in it and I pushed in and it and where it didn't push in it raised up a little bit. So avian it gives it some depth. I also do that on my goblet forms and that is just with the smaller one pushing like that and I would show you that on this pot right here that I just need. I'm just going to put a stamp a stamping right here, I'm going to make sure that my fingers are in the back of it. I'm going to push."
