I guess you might use silica but thats glass
maker, and might be expensive? and stick to clay in bisque and change glaze results. I use cheep baby powder ( basicly Talc )corn starch works and leaves no residue, some people have used Pam, and WD40 but I don't like grease arnd my pots, mght mess wth glzs. Neat idea frm
a great pttry Tcher who has some old VHS's
Virgina Cartwright, take sm 8"x8" sqr sft fabric old Tshirt pour about 1/2 cup powder in mdl tye up w/t rubberband tight.A Powderer!

Thanks, DebraRay
I never thought of making a reverse impression!! I'll do that! That will work great for impressing a pattern into dishes and the rims of pots. Also, I never thought about a release agent. What do you use - silica?

I'm glad you posted this, I encourage my students to make same, also take bisque stamp and make another stamp of clay off it for reverse, you might lose a little detail or glue buttons on to clothes pins or wine corks. Besure to powder buttons for better release.I have also used depression glass ware and jewelry to make great impressions
again be sur to use a release medium. Thanks again. DebraRay

Sorry, so wordy! Instant pwderpuff less mess.
By the way grt for little ones too after a bath, keeps dwn the dust just smooth over skin, draw a funny face,or make into bunnies HAHA They'll love it! I also like to pull handles and let set. I'm not to quick anyways so I make a ltle bed with a towel to lay my cup in so I can wrk on side less gravity pulling handles dwn. I teach this way too because it's easier for many ages and abilities. I use cotton bls for supports
jst until set. THNX DebraRay

That's some good ideas! I'll do it like that for the powder puff. No more kids here!!! But now the grandchildren are coming soon!
I watched Simon pulling handles vertically down and he (as usual) made it look easy, so I'll try that soon.
