oddartist Posted September 29, 2020 Report Share Posted September 29, 2020 Has anyone tried dried tomatoes as a way to add color to a saggar? I'm asking because I have several sheets of aluminum foil tomatoes have been grilled on, leaving the liquids dried with bits of seeds and such. Tomatoes are acidic, and I plan on trying a piece or two in my next firing, unless someone can tell me why I shouldn't. Opinions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liambesaw Posted September 29, 2020 Report Share Posted September 29, 2020 Try it! I can't think of much in a tomato that would color it, but you never know until you try! The red color of tomatoes comes from lycopene, which would burn out, but it probably has plenty of sodium, phosphorus and potassium, so could flux something else in the saggar.

Benzine Posted October 5, 2020 Report Share Posted October 5, 2020 I've seen pictures of a "Garbage Glaze" where someone used a banana and orange peel. Both of those did leave noticeable changes to the surface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oddartist Posted October 17, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2020 I've saved several sheets now, and will definitely let you know the results. Think I'll do a saggar fire on Election day. Took the whole day off just in case anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
