i heard from a very good friend in new zealand of using Varnish to do the same only better.

varnish your design on the pot. it's very durable. let dry. wipe down the pot with a damp to almost wet cloth & slowly develop a relief surface. repeat several times to get progressively deeper.

the varnish burns off in bisque.

see ya

I want to experiment with making raised designs using a resist and then
sponging off surrounding clay. On Clayart both shellac and wax resist have
been mentioned as the proper resist for this purpose. What, which is the
better--I have both.

CMC and V-Gum.. I know they are not the same. Again what is the
difference in use?

what a joy that after 52 years in clay I still can learn so much. What a
joy that Clayart is there to teach me.

Be of good courage
