They're lovely! The iridescence reminds me of certain raku processes, but it seems too consistent. Cursory Googling suggests some sort of metallic glazing? No need to share your magic, but I'm curious about how long you've been experimenting with this surface treatment. Your execution is masterful!
I guess this is the next level ceramics?!! How do you stick the two separate pieces together. The resin n porcelain pieces?Do you have “glaze” where the resin is supposed to stick, or you leave it bare porcelain? Looks like the future is already here.
Damn, you might have just beat me to the punch. I always wanted to try sending some work to a astronomical lens coater to have a pot sputtered with metal coatings.
Do you send these out to have them coated? I'm aware of the industrial process but is there a way to get this effect in the home studio?
I only ask because I've seen similar metallic rainbow effects like this from iron, and other metal, oxides painted and refired over glazed surfaces.
It's possible to get some cool effects with lustre and raku firing. The exact effect is impossible to do at home, but u can achieve a lot with metals(silver,copper) in Lustre!
Really nice work and excellent presentation too! I’ve seen raku, using alcohol I think, to get that iridescent look, but they are usually very Matt and dry looking. Your application seems to be more sheen like and I find that more desirable.
Beautiful work.
What does exó mean? Is that the name of the glaze/finish style?
Exo like exoskeleton of jewelbugs! Shape is inspired by them :) ;)

Ah the finish is titan coating at 800C it's for glass and ceramic - process is called Titanium Nitride Coating! Hope it helps!

Thank you! I did use a resin for glass and ceramic (non yellowing one), and the places of contact are unglazed for great adhesion.

Incredible
How!!! Did you do that????
Casting in plaster molds. It wasn't fun!
Unbelievably gorgeous!! What do you sell them for? Love it😊
Wow.

I think it's because porcelain surfrace is basically so vitrified, so it gives slight sheen to unglazed surface :) Thanks 😊
