Learn how to work with the Cuerda Seca technique.

Are you tired of searching for fragmented and unreliable information on cuerda seca?
Do you want to achieve satisfactory results from your very first attempts without wasting time, resources and energy experimenting blindly? Well, this course is specifically designed to give you all the information you need to perform the cuerda seca technique smoothly and without any nasty surprises during firing.
We will begin by explaining the principle of the technique, what the black cuerda compound is, how it is prepared and applied, which are the best brushes to use, the movements and the correct posture for working. We will talk about glazes and how to prepare and apply them correctly to biscuits, both horizontally and vertically. We will see together how to create shades to achieve a realistic effect and we will also talk about the famous “transparent cuerda” variant.
