Does anyone have any information on how to achive a marbling effect with
glazes. The techniques that I use with paint don't transfer well to 3
dimensional objects.

Hi Ron -
I have done marbling with low-fire glazes on tiles. First you have
to soak the bisque so that the glazes will remain fluid enough to
allow marbling. Then I applied the glazes with a syringe and used a
piece of straw (? from a broom) to marbleize. They came out very
pretty, although the glaze tends to crack as it dries. It helps to
use glazes that "heal themselves" during the firing, because you
can't rub out the cracks on the dried glaze without messing up the
pattern. I've never tried it with the ^6 glazes.
I wonder if others have tried different techniques? And, it must be
harder on vertical pieces(?). I look forward to hearing other
Clayarters' comments.

I get that effect with a clear glaze. When I throw my pots I use partly
mixed clay. I use 2 bags of white, one medium brown and one dark brown
clay with no grog. Tucker's clay seems to handle this treatment well.
I wedge the clays before slight mixing and store for a couple of days.
After throwing the pots have to be trimmed to get the marbled effect.
An alternitive is to put some coils of contrasting coloured clay on the
centered clay then recenter. trimming is still needed.

We were playing with mason stains and white glaze and got a marble like
surface. I do not feel safe with this on foodware.

I've marblized a few differant ways .
1) use a fluid glazes , take a piece of foam rubber , cover with plastic , pour
out thinned glazes (milk like) in hit or miss and/or lines , roll the piece .
You made need to cover 1 or 2 coats in a clear glaze . Depending on the "look"
you want .
2)use a sponge and liner brush . Drag the color covered sponge and/or pounch in
a pattern . Use a variety of colors or 3 or 4 tints in either direction . Then
use a liner brush to put veins in .
3)use a marblizing product , in between glazes, under or on top of . Most
commerial glaze company's make . Maybe some here might have a formula .
or repete # 2 using mason stains , or premixed under glazes .
BUT always test a chip first and never use on dinnerware , kids items and pet
products . You never know what you might be combining when using these
tecniques .
Good Luck !

For clay beginners or newbies to clay, I would like to suggest that for a
more effective marbling effect, you really need to work with leather hard
pots (or as moist as the clay can be that you can handle and not distort)
for the slip or engobe to move or flow across or around the piece.
