TortoiseAvenger Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 Anyone know how to create a finish like that shown in the attached picture? I'm interested in trying out sculpture, and am attracted finishes like this. Specifically, I'm looking for something: Very thin, so the fine detail in the piece remains. Muted colors (but still color present) Matte Finish Fired--not painted. I like the permanency and durability of a fired "glaze" or finish. I've made a few of my own glazes now, and they've turned out well... but they look like a typical glaze. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benzine Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 Those look like oxide stains. They were probably brushed on, then wiped off, leaving a hint of the color while accenting the details. You can also do that same with underglazes and even glazes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plover Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 I agree I believe you could acheive something simular with oxide stains. maybe try airbrushing them on for a more atmoshereic look. Could the piece in your photo be from a alternative firing techinique?... Like pit firing, or saggar firing?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Reed Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 It looks like oxides, or perhaps stains. I would recommend picking up Iron oxide, Cobalt Carbonate, and perhaps some mason stains like a red, and a yellow or green. Brush on and then wipe off.

TortoiseAvenger Posted July 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 The mason stains look interesting. How well do the colors stay at ^6? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
