nceca question: decorating with glaze dots

Hi folks,
The commercial exhibits at Baltimore were, as usual, a mad potpourri.
One product / technique I'd not seen before involved placing what appeared
to be little beads of glaze on a prepared surface (tile or shallow dish) to
make a mosaic-like image that was subsequently fired. A few pictures of
this can be seen here:

Not surprisingly, I seem to have been distracted by someone or something
while watching the demonstrators of this technique. Although I've rummaged
through the bags of stuff I brought home from NCECA, I can find no relevant
literature or product names. Don't even know whose booth it was.

A clay collaborator here has expressed interest, so if any of you who
took better notes can tell me what this glaze bead technique is called, who
makes and who sells it, I'd be grateful.

Thanks,
Don Goodrich

Thanks, Don.
I've come to realize that among the positives about NCECA is the
sharing of material and ideas afterwards. The digital camera makes
that ever more do-able. Since obviously we can't attend even half of
what is there, demo pictures like yours are just great.

that it was spring).

I do a "dot" glazing technique, using underglazes. I prefer Axner
underglazes so far. Check out my dots at www.claydiva.com then DOT SERIES

the links you included didn't work. I would love to see the work you
described.

I get inspiration from Aboriginal paintings, and other similar works. dots,
dots, dots. I see spots!

It was the Shimpo vendor. The product is called Capsule Glaze. I got
the Shimpo new product pamphlet, but there's not much information. I
spoke to them briefly, said it would be on their web site soon.
