It's easy when you design the piece you are making to complement the patterning you are using. I do cheat a little because I design my own line of texture mats geared towards ceramic applications! You can find them on my Etsy site - https://www.etsy.com/shop/BHClaysmith?section_id=13035613&ref=shopsection_leftnav_7 -

Sodium Hexametaphosphate is the original "Calgon" formula plus perfume which was made in the US awhile back. It was reformulated due to the adverse effect the chemical had on the the microscopic flora in streams and rivers but can still be purchased from certain chemical supply houses. I believe it is used by people involved with pool cleaning. -

BTW, the stoneware clay used was Laguna Miller #40 and it was electric fired to cone 5/6. -
