Cold combing
Posted: Sun Apr 19, 2015 1:24 pm
I just tried cold combing for the first time. I think that this technique would be one that I could teach the school art teachers in my next class.
I mixed powder frit, water, and aloe vera gel. My concern is drying time when they do this in the classroom. Some of the lines were pretty thick and took almost overnight to dry.
Is there a temperature the combings could be held at in a firing schedule that would speed up the drying process without causing the lines to expand due to the moisture being heated? (Hope that makes sense.)
Thank you,
