Michele,
Instead of using underglaze, I would use an oxide or stain mixed with
water on the pattern on the bisque ware. Wipe off with a damp sponge until
you have just enough stain left to accentuate your design. Then glaze with
a transparent glaze. Mia in hot ABQ

Michele,
You need a glossy, translucent glaze. These will run enough to break, and
also allow the designs to show through. If you already have a good glossy
glaze, try it with the opacifiers left out. Some are better than others, of
course, and you'll want to give your piece a fairly thin coat--at least in
the areas you want to accentuate. The impressions will show through best on
a vertical surface. I know Tony Hansen's 5x20 glaze will work well. For best
results, leave out *all* opacifiers, even including rutile and titanium.

Hi Michelle!
I usually texture my pieces in a similar manner or do lots of carving, both
shallow and deep; my solution was to apply stains and then apply a clear or
translucent glaze over this which allows the pattern to show.
Good Luck,
Liz

Floating Blue breaks really nicely for me. I've been using the seed heads from
oriental poppies to create texture lately, and FB is just magic in the
depressions. recipe can be found in the archives in its' many incarnations. This
is ^6 electric, by the way.

Hi everyone.
I have been working with pressing metal objects (old jewellery etc.) into
the rims of my plates/bowls and now I have a glazing dilemma.
I am really pleased with the texture but my glazes don't do it justice. I
am now rubbing in black underglaze and sanding this away on the surface.
Firing today so I'll see if this shows through my glaze a bit. Can anyone
suggest a good glaze or method of accentuating the texture?
Thanks a lot,
Michele Hoskin

Michelle,
Have you tried a transparent glaze
or a celadon?

Michele,
I assume that you are using low fire glazes since you are using underglaze?
If you let us know what cone you are firing to for sure, we might be better
able to come up with some glazes that would look good on the effect you want.

Hello Michel!
I made a mass with my glazes recipes I had to look for them in ClayArt
archives!
I think that all the answers you got so far were very good.
Here is another glaze of the same kind, Waxy white: On white body, looks
WHITE but shows clearly any details underneath, because it is actually clear
waxy glaze. It looks like a "simple" glaze and this is what I like about it:
Cone 6 ox.
1) Waxy White^6
============
QUARTZ.............. 23.50 23.50%
ENGLISH KAOLIN...... 14.90 14.90%
NEPHELINE SYENITE... 14.50 14.50%
WOLLASTONITE........ 37.20 37.20%
GERSTLEY BORATE..... 9.90 9.90%
========
100.00
I think you may do it :
QUARTZ.............. 20.4 20.38%
ENGLISH KAOLIN(Puraf 20.5 20.46%
NEPHELINE SYENITE... 7.7 7.69%
WOLLASTONITE........ 37.5 37.52%
FRIT 3134........... 12.8 12.83%
TALC................ 1.1 1.13%
========
100.0
Don,t bother the English kaolin. It is an American
recipe.Posted to clayart by Deirdre Slaven@Colorado.EDU (So probably was not
English Kaolin)
In the original massage was written: Can add 2% copper carbonate for waxy
green.
Thank you Deirdre!

This other glaze, from my school, was developed from a glaze they found
somewhere, probably C.M.
My adviser, explained me that the "problem" with this glaze is if I remember
correctly, not enough
EUTECTIC, means that where you apply thicker, (better spray it!) the glaze
is white, not mature, while where it is thinner the melting "succeeded" and
you get blue, or green. This is pretty nice and pretty dry glaze.
I suggest that you apply it without underglaze, and rub it slightly, nicer
on NOT white body!
I think you may change the colorant, but I would live the rutile:
Blue with white dots
==================
FELDSPAR soda 60
WHITING 20
ENGLISH KAOLIN 20
RUTILE 3
COBALT OXIDE 1
If you like this direction write again and I will add more glazes! I
developed more, out of this one, but this one is the simplest to prepare!
And very nice!

Dear Ababi,
I found this comment from your adviser interesting; this glaze is not enough EUTECTIC, means that where you apply thicker, =
(better spray it!) the glaze is white, not mature, while where it is =
thinner the melting "succeeded">
Perhaps he or she would be kind enough to say in simple terms what they =
mean by EUTECTIC.
I ask because your glaze, which I believe would have been fired to =
stoneware temperatures, may be fully mature. It has melted completely =
and bonded to the clay. But during cooling it has started to devitrify =
and the whiteness is caused by very small crystals, possibly =
wollastonite which is a calcium silicate.
Also, transparent glazes which contain rutile often give an optical blue =
of violet colouration.
You seem to have lot of fun with your clay.
Best regards,

Michelle, have you tried a translucent or clear glaze, ( stained any color
you like). Where the glaze settles in the depth of the design, it will be
pooled, therefore darker, accenting the design. I think you will like it.
