OK, one more naive thought.....could cyanotype used here? From what I understand, various iron oxides are important colorants in glazes. I believe the blue color is ferric ferocyanide. That must reduce to something interesting...

Thanks for this notice Charles.

It's great to know that there is someone out there who is an expert in the technique and I'm interested to know more about Michael; I wish I could be there. Does he print 3-color photos on ceramic??

When you consider photographs that have the potential for lasting centuries, if not millenia, photo-ceramics rank highest on the list. The permanence of vitrified pigments and the durability of ceramics make this a very intriguing process.

I have had some success with salt printing images on bisque ware. The exposures are roughly two stops longer, but it can be done.
