Toasted Ceramic Tutorial

I was excited to recreate this design (it’s inspired by my Palm Springs press on design) with an updated look utilizing one of the new Presto Sand Collection colors (slightly deeper, but I’m into it). 

Ceramics have been a longstanding source of inspiration for me. My parents fancied themselves artistic types, so our house was fairly eclectic with lots of art on the walls and on the shelves.  When I set out to create some ceramic looks for my shop, I kept being drawn to these rustic turquoise pieces- but, me being me, I had to give it some flair and add gold foil.

While I can’t say that this design was inspired by a particular real ceramic or glazing technique, it definitely gives me chill desert art teacher vibes which I’m totally here for.
