Hi! Do you use a specific type of engobe or any engobes can suit this technique? Beacause I tried but the black engobes creates smears when I pass the spong, and if I insist it gets away from the carving too.
The ModPodge acts as a resist similar to shellac, but it is waterbased so clean up is easier. If you wanted color, you would have to do the underglaze first, then use the resist on top. If you put the underglaze over the resist it will not adhere to the clay.
Hello ! Do you know how to avoid cracks in the texture added with slip ? I was wondering if I should deflocculate the slip, but I don't know to what proportions or if it's even a good idea.
Omgoodness! 🤯 I'm a brand new 'newbie'to pottery and your demo just blew open the universe for me!! LoL 🤣 certainly know what I'll be doing probably before the sun is up in the morn'n! Haha I have SOOOO many things to try! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and skills 🙏🥰 I am so grateful for your generosity 🙏 🥹
It has no adverse affect on the clay. It's a small amount of resist on per with waxing the bottom of a pot. Which btw, you could use wax resist instead but it doesn't adhere as well and sometimes easily peels away.
Step 1: Center (0:00-2:20) *full speed *6 o'clock position Step 2: Drop Hole (2:21-3:26) Step 3: Define Bottom (3:27-4:25) Step 4: Open Form (4:26-5:13) *switch to medium speed near the end of step 4 Step 5: Pull Walls Up (5:14-7:21) *keep to medium speed *switch to 3 o'clock position+fingers offset Step 6: Shape (7:22-9:25) Step 7: Clean-Up Remove (9:26-10:10)
Many engobe formulas are versatile and can be used on greenware or bisqueware, but it would depend on the formula of your engobe. Get a piece of bisque and test it out.
Hi Jasmine, I will usually go back and smooth the inside with my finger or a small rubber rib. If my hand doesn't fit inside I will use a tool, like a throwing stick or a sponge on a stick to smooth out the inside bottom edge.
