I have a good friend on the Coleville reservation in Washington
State who is a painter. I wanted to send her bisqued pots that
I make so that she can paint them with underglazes and send
them back, then I'll clear glaze them and fire them with her
designs. Is this feasible at all? I'm not worried about getting
the bisqued pots to her, but getting them back with underglaze
on them seems tough. I thought about her waxing the whole pot
to give it a protective layer. Baking it to sort of fix the
underglaze. Hell, at this point, I even thought about buying
her a test kiln to rebisque them before mailing them back.
Any other ideas?

Just wax 'em, they'll ship fine. They'll probably
ship fine waxed or not, but wax does a good job.
Enjoy your collaborations.

Jonathan - some underglazes are "sturdier" than others and less likely to
smudge. I've used Dencan Concepts, which is made for bisqueware; it seems
pretty stable, and colours go pretty well to ^6. I think if it were me, I'd
try sending her ONE pot to do some minimal painting on first. I'd wrap the
painted pot in quilt batting, which would sort of cling, and not shift on
the pot and smudge it, then wrap in bubblewrap or whatever is your
preference.
Good luck with this---it's sounds like an interesting partnership!

As others have pointed out, waxing the pots would do a fine job of =
"holding" the underglaze designs. Another option, if you want to avoid =
the wax, would be to water down some white glue, 4 or 5 parts H2O to one =
part glue and brush or spray that right over the underglaze designs,
Good luck,
Craig
