Ron Korczynski creates his designs using AMACO® underglazes, Velvets, and clear low-fire glaze.
Ron burns intricate designs into the Styrofoam mold in the negative, and these designs are imprinted into the clay slab when it is pressed on the mold. When the piece is removed from the mold, then finished, dried, and bisque fired, he entirely covers the front and back of the piece with a design using underglazes. A clear glaze is applied before firing the piece to temperature. Ron’s pieces are food safe, but because of the intricate and colorful designs, most people who collect his work hang them on the wall as clay paintings.
"I like to decorate the backs of my larger pieces although virtually no one ever sees them. If you look at the front and think that’s all there is, the designs on the back are sort of a surprise ending—fun and exciting for me to do and for the viewer to see."
Each hand-built earthenware with underglaze decoration is an original.
