Norm35 Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 I would like to press sand onto the surface to cone 06 clay before bisque firing. Can I create a sand-like surface this way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rae Reich Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 Try it and see! Try different grades of sand. Put tests on a slab to contain crumbles or drips, if any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bciskepottery Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 You might also consider grog in place of sand -- grog comes in various types, coarse, medium, fine . . . which could give you a more interesting finish. Another option is to start with a groggy clay body (one with a high percentage of grog, kyenite, or molochite); after the items are bone dry, take a damp sponge and gently wash the surfaces to remove the fine clay particles and leaving the groggier/sandpaper texture.
