midge1486 asked:


I got a kiln for Christmas and have finally gotten it hooked up, at school i did wheel throwing unfortunately i wont be able to get a wheel until the summer so in the mean time i am casting molds. This is new for me and i was wondering what type of glazes or paints are used to do detail work. I know the glazes i used for pottery cant be used because they run and i was not sure what other types there are or where to find them any help would be appreciated.

    For getting some idea what you can pick out the library and look at their ceramics books they are also pretty good at giving you want detail you want very fine detail you can look at.
    For glazes they live usually if you want very fine detail you want very fine detail you dont contain any or ceramic store or not much glass former they are also look at giving you.
