Water etching ceramics

Narumi Ceramics on Instagram‎: "While I am waiting for my studio to undergo a bit of renovation in a few weeks time, I am working on this water etched vessel which was left unfinished before we moved. I cannot start a new Nerikomi project till all renovations are done. The green you can see has nothing to do with the result, it will burnt off.

Sarah Catherine Gromek on Instagram: "I am IN LOVE with my white finishing sponge by @mudtools ! It’s perfect for smoothing out my water etched bottoms.

This design was created by applykng underglaze to greenware, using vinyl as resist then water etching to raise rhe designs, followed by sprayed white underglaze and a clear final glaze.

cleo on Instagram: "How to do water etching on ceramics! Tip: if you don’t have coloured wax you can use food colouring to give it a colour!! It just burns off in the kiln like normal 🙂 It’s a super easy way to add texture to your pottery: 1. Get a bone dry pot (greenware) 2. Use wax resist to make a pattern 3. Wait for the wax to dry 4. Use a damp sponge to wipe away the clay around the pattern 5. Bisque and glaze as usual! #ceramics #pottery #wateretching #waxresist #clay #greenware"
