New Glaze Test Results 10/1/13

The following glazes have been replenished and are available for your use (clays are Little Loafers and Standard 112):

Nutmeg

Bright Sky Blue

Jade

Licorice

Byrne

Each test tile was first held in the glaze for a count of 3, left to dry, then partly dipped and held for a count of 2 to show thickness differences.

Note that both Jade and Bright Sky Blue have a slight tendency to run on the white clay .

If you have any comments or problems with these glazes, contact Wes.

The featured DVD for tomorrow's session will show Martha Grover's unique methods of throwing and altering functional pots. This is a re-run, but it was well received when we showed it previously.

YouTube leads

We had a YouTube session today for our weekly Brown Bag. We visited these potters for starters:
  Hsinchuen Lin
  Mark Peters
  Youdanxxx
  Simon Leach
  John Britt
  Bill van Gilder

There's certainly a world of information and knowledge out there on the Internet about our favorite osbsession. As the Brits would say, "Give it a go!"...and let us know what you find.

p.s. setting up the links is a tricky bit. If they don't take you where you want to go, just do a search in the YouTube search box.
