Hi

I'm trying to mask areas on pots in saggar firing to stop carbon
absorption. Does anyone have any ideas on what to use???

I have heard of masking tape being used- though this was for a fire that
was rather low in temperature. Rebecca Urlacher uses this technique for
her smoked porcelain work. Her work is on the cover of the Ceramics
Monthly compliation of saggar techniques book. her
