  • Simon

    did you dye your hair?

    You've gone ginger instead of your usual intense black.

  • I am excited to get back to my college, My major is Ceramics and pottery i would be interested in Trying this Burnish techinique on some of my projects :)

  • I love to burnish my pieces! The silky finish is wonderful. I have a favorite tool that I use to burnish. I use a outdoor decorative light bulb. The point is nicely rounded to fit in groves and works like a finger without the fingernail. Different sizes are available for different shapes. The clear ones work best as the coloured ones tend to leave their colour behind. I have also used the back of a spoon to burnish.

  • isnt that gonna blow like kingdom come if he doesnt make a hole on that?

  • yes, you are right. the higher temps will diminish the shine.

  • thanks for the tip!

    wil try it next time i find the patience to burnish a piece :-D

  • try baby oil instead of water to wet

  • OK ceibhfionn2, So the wrong I´m doing is to fire it too high. Thanks for the information!

  • hello Simon,

    I use for burnishing a piece of flexible teflon (plastic), on the wheel and off the wheel; after that I do some pitfiring using "sulfato de cobre" and it looks like terra sigitala, very nice
