- Pâte-Sur-Pâte - Pâte-sur-pâte is a decorative technique that is commonly used in ceramics and glassmaking. The term "pâte-sur-pâte" is French and it translates to "paste on paste." This technique involves the application of layers of clay or glass paste to create a three-dimensional design.
In ceramics, the technique involves applying successive layers of a clay slip onto a piece of pottery. Each layer is allowed to dry before the next one is applied. The layers are then carved or incised to create a design in relief. This technique is often used to create delicate and intricate designs, such as figures or floral motifs.
In glassmaking, the technique involves applying layers of molten glass onto a blown glass form. The layers are then carved or etched to create a design in relief. This technique is often used to create intricate designs, such as floral motifs or animals.
Both techniques require a high level of skill and precision, as the layers must be applied and carved with great care to achieve the desired effect. The end result is a beautiful and unique piece of art that showcases the artist's talent and mastery of their craft.
