Hi.
I had a brillant plan for something new to experiment with on my pottery =
this morning as I was waking up! My only problem is that it will have a =
fine texture that I will want to show...and I want to have different =
values on the textured part. I fire with a cone 6 electric kiln. I was =
thinking maybe an oxide wash with clear over...but have only used the =
red iron oxide.....are there other colors/values that I could use??? Or =
is there a better glaze that will pool in the fine textures and will =
show them ?? =20
If there are sites on the web with this type of glazing...would you =
please tell me ...so I could look for examples of this type of work in =
texture? Also...I want to use this on functional pottery!
I appreciate any help you can give me!!! THANKS!

You can add silicon carbide to an underglaze or engobe and it will
produce some fine bubbly surface.

Colored transparent glazes will pool in the texture
and emphasize it, but test first, since the thickness
of the application and the transparency of the
glaze will both be important factors. Look at
traditional celadons, and at the work of Elaine
Coleman, for an idea of how this can work.
Oxide wipes work well also, though the effect is
different. I prefer to achieve this effect with
an engobe wipe, since it give a more controllable
outcome. You can choose the exact color and value
that you want, while plain oxides give a limited
palette and their strength makes it more difficult
to control the application in thin coatings. You
say you have only iron...do you use purchased
glazes, then? Commercial underglazes work
beautifully for these effects. Just apply clear
glaze over it if desired, or leave it 'dry' for
a stony, rougher look on non-food surfaces.
Some commercial underglazes semi-vitrify at ^6
giving a stony-matte-glaze-looking surface all by
themselves, while others remain pale and dry. Test
several brands and colors to get the effect you want.

Hi, Susan,
Several months ago, Dai posted a recipe for a Barnard Slip wash. I have
tried it and found it what I think you want to do.

BARNARD WASH BY DAI
Barnard Slip clay (100gms), mixed with a little bit (maybe 5%)of
wollastonite, and water (make it thinner than glaze).
Dai commented: "I brush it on bisque and then sponge it off, which
accentuates any texture in the piece.
It looks good on red clay."
