Hello all:
I am a photographer and a potter! I would like to add photographs to my pottery. I want to use an emulsion (potassium or ammonium dichromate) that is mixed with pigment. I have found 2 books that touch on the subject, but they do not give the exact recipe for the process. I just do not know what kind of pigment to add and how much. I am willing to experiment, but I need to know where to begin.

I have been working with silk screening which is working well, but I want to see if the image is crisper with the dichromate process.

Has anyone worked with this process, or know where I can find info?

Thank you,
Candice Potrafka
