Today I unloaded the glaze kiln I shared with Karen Patinkin.
As you may remember, in that kiln were some new glazes I recently made.
I was encouraged by the test tiles that I fired, and couldn’t wait to actually put them
to the test on actual pieces! And of course, I can’t start small with just a couple mugs.
Instead, I glazed a LOT of pieces in this kiln with the new glazes. Luckily… they seemed to
work very well so I gave them names and labeled the buckets! Here’s a very quick preview.
SPRUCE – a beautiful dark evergeen shade that breaks well on my stamped textures.
GOLDEN CRANBERRY – a thicker glaze that breaks golden, but pools with a burgundy tone.
CILANTRO – kind of a yellowy, parsley color… didn’t break as light as the test tile did?!
And the best part?… they look even better on B-Clay!!! And they feel great too!!!
I love how the Spruce Green turns a beautiful shade of blue and yet breaks so beautifully.
The Golden Cranberry shows more depth and pools well in the grooves.
Cilantro is yellower, with a nice clear color that accentuates, but doesn’t fill the stamps.
Guess I gotta start making more things out of B-Clay, huh?!
Beautiful Gary!
So, will you be sharing? Secretly, of course. Just with friends. Ones who don’t sell their stuff.??!!
Of course… plus I have a few other combo-cocktails you might be interested in?!
