Tips & Techniques
1. The appearance of Gold will vary with thetype of glaze over which it is applied. When applied over a gloss glaze, Gold will be shiny. When applied over a matte glaze, Gold will be dull.
2. If Gold is accidentally applied on the wrong area, dip a cotton swab in Essence and wipe off misplaced colour.
3. If any areas are missed, go back and touch up before Gold dries.
4. If using a metallic overglaze and Mother of Pearl on the same piece, apply and fire the metallic overglaze first.
5. For solid coverage with Gold, apply over a grey glaze or a grey underglaze covered by clearglaze.

It really is like alchemy watching this gold lustre transform from a greeny brown murky looking liquid into the beautiful gold lustre during the 700 degrees firing. One of the reasons I love it so much, that I hadn't fully anticipated on buying it, is that - because it is applied after the glaze firing stage, in a third firing, I've recently applied it to a few items that I made a while ago and was slightly disappointed with and now I absolutely love them, after applying just a few gold accents. A tiny amount goes a long way. If you want to see some examples, look at my Instagram account @lori.shaul.ceramics
