Craft in Ceramic

  In Sevillarte we used two types of artisan techniques to work the ceramics: "cuerda seca" and "vidriada sobre cubierta".

  Cuerda Seca.

  Technique originating from the XV and XVI centuries that consists of applying enamels on ceramic. We offer plates, wall and table clocks, mirrors...

	Outline The artist, using a fine brush impregnated in grease and manganese dioxide, outlining the drawing and forming a greasy wall that will retain the enamels.
	Fill brush The enameling is made with the filling by brush within the interior spaces of the drawing. Followed by a second baking.
	Gold A special brush impregnated gold, slides freely throughout the reliefs.
	Baking The last baking, at lower temperature, concludes the finished work.
