TougeiBoy Posted May 19, 2020 Report Share Posted May 19, 2020 I wonder if anyone has experience using fish scales, either in/as glazes or mixed in clay bodies. They are composed of collagen and calcium salts, so they may offer interesting results. However, the initial heat of the kiln may negate any effect. Thank you.

CactusPots Posted May 19, 2020 Report Share Posted May 19, 2020 I'm surprised some ash glaze nut hasn't tried fish scale ash. Of course the problem would be getting enough of the right kind of fish scale. If I had a trash can of pure fish scales, I'd be scheming, for sure. The texture of really rough fish scales is appealing. Sort of a ceramic gyotaku. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liambesaw Posted May 19, 2020 Report Share Posted May 19, 2020 Fish scale would degrade into mostly calcium oxide I would think. Might be fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babs Posted May 20, 2020 Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 Folk have used actual whole fish and underglaze to get pretty fine prints onto platters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
