Shellacked tilework. Recycled and BCS Clay, various glazes. Oxidation Fired

We learned about using shellac for creating resists and textures in class so I did some experimenting with shellacking some Chinese characters on tiles - because of my poor brush skills and the thick shellac, the writing is not very pretty, but the technique is kind of fun. The bottom two tiles (Front Door and Exit) are BMIX clay, with Breaking Green Glaze over Brown. Upper left is dk yellow underglaze with glossy clear over (waxed), then dipped in Red Rasberry. Middle is Clear + Wax, then dipped in Wedgewood blue. Right is green glaze + wax, then dipped in brown. Top tiles are all recycled clay.
