preeta Posted August 16, 2018 Report Share Posted August 16, 2018 Well you know there is a potter Sunshine Cobb who sand blasts her pieces to get the finish she likes. You are entering the world of multifires. As an experiment anything is possible. Most people just use another glaze on top. Just as long as you consider that your already glaze fired piece will never hold glaze the way a bisque piece would. Take pictures. make Notes. I am assuming you are talking about a pot and not an intricate sculpture. If you didn’t spend too much time doing intricate work, why not hold on to the piece and make another one. Then come back later and see how you feel. Do you still dislike it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Callie Beller Diesel Posted August 16, 2018 Report Share Posted August 16, 2018 Hi and welcome! I agree with Preeta about sitting with the piece a while to see if you begin to appreciate it for what it is, rather than for what you wanted it to be. You can sandblast the glaze off and reglaze, but it's one of those things where if it's a relatively simple piece, you'd spend waaaaaay less time remaking it. Once you get done sandblasting the glaze all off (which will take some time), you have to figure out which method to use to get glaze to adhere to mature, non porous clay. If you remake the piece, they usually turn out better the second time around. Let us know how it goes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
