oldlady Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 somewhere recently,(for someone my age 20 years is recent) i saw something involving dipping pots into a glaze containing dish detergent and stirring it up to make bubbles. the resulting bubbles burst onto the pot surface leaving little circles of color as the pot was removed. anyone remember this and from where??

Interesting. I think it would vary a lot from glaze to glaze and often do nothing noticeable and when it was noticeable more likely to be ugly than beautiful but worth a try. I'll put it on my To Test list. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterH Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 Oldlady. In a different context Tim Andrews used bubbles in the glaze part of 2-part raku smake resist. So he got a mixture of smoke-formed lines (from the crackle glaze) and dots (from the bubbles). Regards, Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterH Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 Oldlady, >peter, any chance that [Tim Andrews use of bubbles in the glaze layer of 2-part raku smoke resist] > is recorded somewhere? Not that I can find off-hand. I know it to be true because I chatted about it with him at a show. IIRC it is mentioned in one of his videos (gone AWOL after I lent it) and might be mentioned in his books (ditto). There are lots of pics of his work using the technique about: http://tinyurl.com/ouu74f2 ... although I had forgotten that the pieces he used it on showed little crackle pattern, relying on resist lines and the dots. Regards, Peter Added: reference picture has vanished. I’ve put another reference in post 15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pugaboo Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 Oh wow that is such a pretty technique. Once again oldlady you have caught my artistic muse. I need to make something up and try this bubbles technique out. Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrgpots Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 Very cool. Wyndham I love the alt method you found. I will try to do this this week. Jed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldlady Posted July 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 Oh, of course, THAT Tim Andrews. i got that wonderful book at the Dunedin library last year in florida and did not take it back on time. 3 weeks was not enough. i never cared to make raku until i saw it done so well in that book. looking at it i wonder if the dots could be those tiny stickers used in galleries to show that the only pot i want has a red sticker and is sold. sticker first, white glaze unknown stripe unless painters or car detailing tape. it inspired me to do the raku piece that was my avatar until it got lost. the unglazed part was covered by a rubber band which is what was done (i imagined} to the black striped vase in the book. the palm trees were covered with painters tape i cut and pasted down before glazing and peeled off before firing. the andrews book is terrrriffffic. get it from your library and look at the car kiln raku structure in his backyard. what do you think the neighbors say? biglou, check it out.

Marcia Selsor Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 That is a lot safer than foil saggar. Fun technique!I can see some potential there.I saw one demo on Facebook too. Peter, I couldn't open your link. Marcia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterH Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 Peter, I couldn't open your link. Yes, the linked picture seems to have died. Three examples here: http://www.coombefarmstudios.com/course/ceramics-course-raku-tim-andrews/ Right hand pot in 1st picture. Left hand top & bottom pots in 2nd picture.

rakukuku Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 A related thing I used to do was wax out areas on a darker clay, then spray with a shino glaze. The glaze beads up on the waxed area. I had intended to wipe those off but decided to leave them on. The result was an unglazed area with little bumps all over it contrasted with areas of shino . Always meaning to try it with something other than shino. love the bubble idea. rakuku Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
