I've seen this done by simply using a very viscous glaze, but never over holes this big or numerous.

Jim

Uh huh, you guys are seeing holes. Viscous glaze eh, interesting ...expound

Another idea,

spray or brush resist (wax, maybe shellac) over stencil,

clear dip

Best guess is that it is a result of

Okay Ill play.

Thinking...
start with a thin transparent type porcelain, green
affix stencil,
with sponge work away some clay to create an even thinner spot

bisque, then a thin clear glaze

Back to topic....

I use a lot of ppclay from laguna, lets see what were the questions...

Quote
Do these clays ever vitrify?
no at cone 5, seems almost but not quite

Quote
Will they hold water?
There seems to be a bunch a paper in there so theres the little voids AX mentioned, at Cone 10 maybe,, nah

Quote
How are they for tiles and detail work?
Not great, like said lots o paper, does stamp fine just dont drag anything

Quote
So they play well with glazes?
Beauty, really and single fire ,,,o yea no probs

Quote
Pros and cons?

It is lighter in weight, if that is good,

throws easy , but keeps hands out of the bucket
never s crack, or stress crack

Believe me when I say it doesn't join like homemade ppclay I dont know why. When I first stated using bmix paper I was lax in joining cuz well paper clay right,,, nope lots of feet fell off etc, so there is that

and spensive comparatively

not really stinky for 4 or 5 months, got something in there for that

my favorite is bobs
