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.

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"

We shall see how it goes. 🤞 #silhouette #silhouettecameo4 #graphicdesign…
