Lovely pots and great technique. Probably a silly question but how do you know when you have to stop rubbing with the sponge, do you hold the pot up to the light to see if its translucent?
Thank you for sharing! I wonder how long do you rub the edge of the area with shellac ? How do you decide it's enough and time to move to the next area/layer?
No, only the inside with either a transparent or lightly coloured glaze. The outside is polished with wet and dry paper. (very fine 600 grit sandpaper) this keeps the surface sharp and very tactile. Sorry for the delay in replying.

Thank you for sharing your process with us, I really love the cloud effect. Do you also glaze the outside of the bowl.

Do you think this technique will work on a cone 5 porcelain? Just bought a bag of it but I am not sure if the clay will get that translucent quality.
Have hard time to hear ...material you used for the process.
