On Laguna's EM-334 clay (Wards 06 Red). Cuerda seca (resist line patterns) were first hand drawn and then silk screened onto bisque tile. With the lines serving as a "resist" or "boundary" to the glaze, custom glazes were then hand applied between the lines - each tile created one at a time. The tiles were then fired to 1850°F/1010°C.
