"weathered" look on my figurative sculptures?

[Sandyk]

I do low fire sculpture with white sculpture clay. I have been struggling with the best way to get a "weathered" look on my figurative sculptures. Thank you for any help or advice anyone can give.

I think I have found the trick. Fire first with bottom layer of underglaze then another layer of underglaze at watercolor consistency. Fire again, seems to work.
Thank you for your thoughts.

Yap, It's good idea. But there is another way, after you applying underglaze color, for second layer you can spraying it by spray gun.

Thanks, but I don 't have a spray gun, have also heard sandblasting the second layer works and gives an interesting patina.

You could paint it with a dark stain then with a damp cloth or sponge wipe off the high spots leaving the low areas and crevices dark. Fire without glaze to give a rough surface.

I am trying to strengthen my glaze skills with raku patinas fired at low temp in electric kiln. Thanks for your response.
