Glazing

The limited firing opportunities make it difficult to experiment with various glaze combinations.

I learned that to be successful, I need to limit myself to a few glazes, perhaps starting off with a base glaze and modifying it to achieve a specific look. It's not practical to try a dozen different glaze recipes, trying to find something that works.

With this approach, when I glazed my last bowels, I studied the samples of the glazes we have in the classroom and selected a few glazes that I think would work. By restricting myself to a few glazes, I hope to get the results I want.

I'm using Pete's Red, Teal Green, Matt Blue, Choy Blue Celadon and Woo Woo Yellow. The red, green and blue is for decorative marks, with either a Choy Blue Celadon or Woo Woo Yellow as a base coat.
