About MeUsing sponges is one of the simplest methods of decoration. A shape is cut, dipped in coloured glaze, and applied to the body. Here both the roses and edging pattern have been created with sponges. Quite intricate patterns can be built up.
In recent years there has been a revival of sponging, led by companies like Bridgewater.
