Lee,
I fired my terra cotta to ^1 soda glazed when I was at the Archie
Bray in Helena.
I still have one bird bath and a copule of corbels from there. The
colored underglaze slips came out well. My favorite was
bernard slip 1/3 epk 1/3 and frit 3110 1/3. It came out a buttery
golden color.
There is a photo on my website of some of the corbels with the colred
under glaze slips on the gallery link under architectural ceramics.
And yes I dissolved soda ash into boiling water in order to spray it
into the ports.

The soda fired pieces are the third image and the next to the last
image. The sewer pipe brown is the plain soda glazed terra cotta. The
deeper crevases you are referring to are washed off underglaze stain
not on soda fired pieces.

Lee,
The gallery page is this link
http://www.marciaselsor.com/arch_ceram.html
The first picture on the left is a ^1 soda glazed terra cotta corbel
with colored underglaze stains.
There are several other soda glazed terra cotta corbels on the scroll.

Thanks. That looks great. Are the darker high spots the slip or
are the crevasses slipped too and it is the soda making the difference
in color?
