Work this coil on the turned edge and con-tinue to build up in this way until the desired shape andsize is obtained. Slip may be used as above the pieces of pottery have thoroughly dried they maybe fired in a kiln or coated with shellac, which usuallyprevents erosion. Firing does not prevent erosion, the shel-lac must also be used on the inside. The coloring of the lower grades may be done by usingthe water color paints or the colored crayons may be used. Place the crayon in water the day before to acquire theproper consistency. The fiat base required for relief work may be rolled outwith a small roller cut from a broom FIGURE XX. Upon this flat base may be placed flowers and leaves. Asmall piece of wire or sharp stick may be used for draftingout lines. The color may again be applied with good mold may be easily made from any piece of relief the clay product is completed cover entire surfacewith dope. (See casting process of pottery.) Place aboutthe sides of the clay product a band of straw board creased 234 at the earners to fit the corners of clay slab. (Fig. XX.)Allow this to fit as closely as possible. Mix water andplaster to the consistency of thick cream and pour in uponthe relief work to the thickness of from one to two XX. In about twenty minutes this plaster form maybe removed from original relief work and a mold is left of Fig. XX. The inner surface of this mold maybe well doped—the straw board placed about it, and plasterof paris poured upon it. This soon frees itself form themold and as a result we have the relief work in
