Bob in SF Location: San Francisco CA US Posts: 2 users gallery	Inspired by the fiery music of Machito's Afro-Cuban band; rendered from memory (no visual reference), 6x9". Steps: Roll out a 3/8" slab of B-Mix clay, cut to desired shape. Let dry until hard leather hard, 36-48 hours. Spray with cream color, then blue, then black underglaze. Scratch in image through the colors with bits of steel wool on a toothpick and small twigs, working from dark to light. Dry slowly until bone dry (warm on the cheek). Bisque fire. Spray a gradated clear glaze, then fire to cone 6. Hang with a plate hanger near some fiery music.
