Can anyone shed light on how to create the outside finish Raffan does on his recent bowls (red inside, faux stone or verdigris outside)?
They can be seen here: http://www.narekgalleries.com/previous_exhibitions_2010.htm
just below his boats. Im really wondering if its a painting technique (i.e. paint grey base, paint white top, scrub with sponge, etc.) OR a specialized finish (i.e. patina and so forth).
Thanks for your input!

You might try sending him an email. Awhile ago I had a finishing question on a bowl in one of his books and he responded in about a day.
