Glaze Update

All of our glazes have been updated as of Fri. 3.19.10. Tests have been done for several of them (vertical tiles on the right side of the test shelf and pictured below) and more tests will follow this week. Some pictures of the current glazes and combinations can be found below. Please also note that 3 of the glazes with running tendencies are now in the orange buckets in the studio. Please use these with caution and proper procedure (see previous post for advice on working with these). Kate has also posted some advice on glazing for firing in the kiln room. Please take a couple of minutes to read these messages.

With all of our glazes, you need to make sure that all the ingredients are thoroughly remixed. This includes scraping the sides for the dried material to be returned to the glaze (use CD's on wall above drill outlet) and making sure you scrape the bottom of the bucket and the corners the drill mixer can't reach (use a stick to retrieve material in that area and to make sure all material has been scraped of the bottom of the bucket).

When double dipping, let your first glaze completely dry before dipping into the second glaze.

Here are some recently glazed pieces:
