Using Shellac resistance solution, I painted several designs relating to my human form project with a paintbrush onto the greenware porcelain tiles I’d previously made. Where the shellac had been painted, water could not touch which meant that when I applied a wet sponge to the surface and rubbed away at it, the areas which weren’t protected by Shellac turned into porcelain slip and rubbed away leaving a design which protruded out of the tile leaving a textured surface. I liked that it didn’t take long for the Shellac to dry but found that small applied areas of it rubbed away with the sponge which defied it’s whole purpose of being a resistant solution. Overall an interesting method which I would enjoy using again.
