Adam Simpson Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 hi everybody, i recently bought myself a potters wheel and i've been experimenting with some new techniques. i started throwing some agateware pieces and i was wondering if anybody had tried using a shellack resist(or anything like that) to reveal different layers of detail? i really like the idea of being able to pick and choose which designs i want to keep and digging through the layers to find better patterns.

The original post is good - but you might want to read about this update to the technique: http://jimgottuso.wordpress.com/#!/entry/4076 Jim switched to shellac flakes and grain alcohol. That's what I've used. Shureform tools used "across the grain" with a clear glaze is also an interesting way to reveal the layers on agate ware.
