Finally I’m back with the results of my experiment with vinegar and bicarbonate of soda on bone dry stoneware! If you didn’t see the previous video, check it out. The reaction produced some fab lava like textures on the clay surface. 🌋
So, to decorate, I applied a copper oxide wash after bisque… now I realise, a bit too liberally! I added some matt white highlights to some of the raised textures, which I hoped would add definition. Good job I fired on a safety plate!
The reaction produces sodium acetate which I now realise is a flux, so it ran during the 1260 firing. But there are still areas of interesting textures. In fact, some of the craters have become larger and more pronounced. 🌕
I have another piece ready to test with other glazes and oxides (in much lower quantities this time), along with areas of no decoration - which I suspect will be the most effective. Or maybe just underglazes for contrast, as I assume there would be no reaction there. 🧐
Watch this space (and turn on notifications if you’re super keen)!
Let me know your results if you've tried it yourself 🏺😄

Have you ever tried using Coca Cola on it? They use it on concrete aggregate to create an exposed stone effect that seem similar to this

Thanks for this, just what I was looking for!! However, I use a friend's kiln, we use flax porcelain clay and medium fire. Will it effect other things in the kiln (if it works at all with this difference) Obviously don't want to contaminate her stuff😢 Many thanks 😽

Hello. I tried this and loved the results. Unfortunately, I was using a community kiln and was told that the soda breaks down the brick. I asked about raku firing my bisqued pieces and was told that soda was extremely toxic. Im wondering what kind of firing might be best the rest of my already bisqued pieces.
