Nancy on sun 4 nov 07
I am a member of a guild in NY and at a recent show I saw some pots that
looked like worn bark but only certain areas. Other areas were smooth
and glazed while the bark area had been washed with an oxide. The
person who would share some but not all just said, I burn it right after
I throw it.
Can anyone provide me withmore information? I understand it's a pretty
common thing but I've never tried it and would love to. I'm thinking
just take my heat gun and take the clay from freshly thrown to almost
dry in the quickest possible way???
Thanks in advance for all your help.

Do you mean they torch the surface?

I get this effect using sodium silicate. Got the idea out of Robin
Hopper's book 'Making Marks'. It is a page on the technique Randy
Brodnax uses. Brush the sodium silicate on a cylinder before you
expand it. In order to get smooth and rough, only do it in patches.
Use your heat gun to dry those areas, then expand. You will get a
different effect every time. Just be sure to clean up the sodium
silicate off brushes and bats right away. I keep my brush in water
while I am throwing if I am doing more than one pot. Feel free to
email me if you need more info.

Probably torch and stretch.

Nancy -
I'm sure Lee has it. The surface is torched to start it drying and then the
vessel is stretched from the inside to create the cracked surface on the
outside. Sometimes dry ash is sprinkled on the form afterwards - makes it
even more rough looking. Or, sodium silicate may be applied to the smooth
wet form before it is torched, then stretched from the inside only to create
the cracked surface on the outside. Make any sense?

The effect is even easier to achieve if you use a "short" claybody. =
Push ONLY from the inside and do NOT touch the outside at all. Steve =
Branfman uses this technique a lot.

Another texture method.
Throw your cylindar and when the clay is still quit wet, dust it with dry
clay powder, using the same clay body that you use to throw with. This clay
will dry faster than the cylindar. Then balloon out your cylindar and you
will see a great texture.
