Congrats PM on your progress and adventures. I am impressed and I agree with Katie, I love that pink. but you did great with all of them. Some of the sunset results remind me of old mugs from my childhood! Thanks for making the time to make the videos of your journey!
Thank you! Now that I took the leap to mix up a glaze, I'm sure more is in my future! Yeah the sunset glaze is really growing on me, I'm not sure that I want to "fix" it now 😅
How awesome to see you make so many of your own glazes. I looove the small pitcher with the small crack. It reminds me of s’mores!! I saw you had test tiles. I would definitely do tests before you glaze next time so you don’t ruin beautiful pots. Also be sure to make your test tiles taller and wider to be more like your pots. Good luck with everything.
Brave girl! I admire your "no fear" attitude. You picked a great mentor, Joe at Old Forge Creations. The pink is one of my favorites too. It will be fun to watch you develop your glazes. All the best! -jw
Great Video and great work! Wanted to mention that the difference in runniness with some of your glazes may actually have something to do with the change in clay. Many white clays can have more inherent fluxing agents (especially porcelain and b-mix). Also Shino is pronounced sheeno or she-know and strontium is pronounced more like straw-ntium. Feel free to delete this. Not trying to be rude at all. In fact I am a big fan as you have inspired me to try several of these recipes. Thanks and keep up the great work!
No offense taken, I welcome feedback! I often do pottery at weird times so I don't "plan ahead" to make sure I am pronouncing things correctly, bound to make mistakes ha. Yes after some thought I think the glaze plays differently on white and dark clay bodies because of the chemistry of the clay and glaze interactions. I'm a biologist, not a chemist, but starting to think I should hit those old chemistry text books again! Let me know how the recipes work for you!
you have brushed OFC glazes, would suggest to dip and see the results makes lot of difference.Thanks for sharing
Absolutely, the test batches were just too small in volume but dipping is my preferred method!

For sure test tiles are made and used for a reason, I need to be more patient and ACTUALLY use them as intended haha.

Thanks!! I think this is the first time someone has described me as having a "no fear" attitude haha
