First, where can I see some examples of this, either live or in a book?
Second, wouldn'the glaze itself determine whether there was gloss or
not? There are certainly glazes which don't produce a glossy surface, or
is there something that happens with the gum itself when fired?
I'm experimenting with coating a pure kaolin layer over masonite with
V.D. and cyanotype, trying to get cracking, surface deformaties, aging
looks, etc. I'd like to attempt some low cone firing (sans masonite),
but didn't have any local sources for beginning directions on this
process.
Luis is the photo-ceramic book due soon?
Later.
