Thanks so much Ann! I’ve used shellac for many years but it was nice seeing the comparison side by side. If I might make a suggestion, scoop out some shellac into a container and leave it open. It will thicken up over time and be much easier to control. I love your style and ease of teaching! Thanks again!

Let me begin with I have no clue about pottery, but I do know my mod Podge. I want to suggest a few things to experiment with. First use one of those needle tips bottles to outlines your images with mod pod. Once they are dry (like in a hour) then fill in with the rest of the image. This way you can ensure the small details are covered. I would also do a second coat after the first one is dry. (Like in an hour) You can swipe this coat on. This way you fill any holes the dabbing may have left. These pieces are so beautiful!! I love them.

It seems like shellac is the best of the three, but I do have some questions: how long and at what point do you vent the kiln when firing pieces with shellac? Can the shellac affect the coils? Can you fire pieces with shellac at the same time as pieces with no shellac? Thank you again for taking the time to make this!!!

@ritakonig1891 Жыл бұрын

Totally agree. I did some resist on my work during studies and used homemade shellack with flakes. You can create various thicknesses when buying the flakes. It also gives you more control and a sharper edge. I loved that process. I also used different sponging methods such as wiping from the inside out of the image. This way you would lose less edges and it leaves more of the image intact if you are so inclined to wash away more clay to create more high relief effect. We also did some erosion on glass by using a resist method. I did a tile with an old mercedes from the front, which had a lot of fine lines in the grill. That was incredible too.

My goodness this is amazing and sooo beautiful Ann. Thank you so much, as always I love your videos soo much. I’m also wondering if you went on the same direction every time you wiped the mug? Maybe if you went in several directions it wouldn’t erode the painted area so much since the top part wouldn’t get all of the abrasion? Did you find that most of the images were lost on the top edge? Just a suggestion.

@annruel9142 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Michele. Actually, I found that going in different directions when wiping seemed to work the best. I sure you are right that I lost more design from wiping from top to bottom. Great eye Michele!
