Colleen Ebersohn Posted March 18, 2018 Report Share Posted March 18, 2018 Please advise can I mix clean beach sand with my underglaze and the paint on bisque? How will it fire? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curt Posted March 18, 2018 Report Share Posted March 18, 2018 Almost certainly very rough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pres Posted March 18, 2018 Report Share Posted March 18, 2018 Couple of things I would want to know, What temp are you firing to, are you going to wash the sand before using it? My reasons for asking are rather simple as the salt in the sand could cause some fluxing action in the kiln, and if electric cause some harm to the elements, depending on the temperature. I would also consider using a slip for the sand, as it would give you more of a binding action than the underglaze will. Depending on your temperature, there may be some softening if the sand particles as in rounding edges. All speculation, but possibilities. best, Pres Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldlady Posted March 18, 2018 Report Share Posted March 18, 2018 colleen, can you tell what effect you hope to achieve by adding sand to your underglazes? and, does "paint" mean "glaze"? i ask because there might be a different way of getting what you want on the final piece.
