Test, test, test...
I'd suggest testing a small amount of each ^04 layered over your ^6 glazes,
on vertical & horizontal surfaces.
May discover some interesting effects.
Be sure to provide for kiln shelf protection for the vertical tests as
running glaze should be expected.

Linda: I went to a paint-your-own pottery place to get some trailing slip
(this was in Junction City, OR) and was shocked by the quality of some of
the painting work in there. One artist did something like miniature water
color paintings between the well planned slip trail zones. It opened my eye=
s
to the possibilities in this kind of work. Her slip trail was very thin,
about 1/16" and very light and graceful. Even the bicycle inner tube needle
makes bigger trails. Not sure how she did that.

Eric,
I first encountered the "ceramics" crowd in the late 80's when I started
making molds for paint-your-plate type shops.
I've been advocating for years that the pottery world does itself a
disservice by looking down on these people.
No, they don't really care about the technical, outside of what the
vendors tell them, but there are some who have done as much glaze testing =
as the
best of us.
The doll artists, as well, could teach our best "porcelain potters" a few
things. What some have done to achieve "rosy cheeks" is truly amazing.
take care

Kurt Weiser went into one of these places and learned to China paint.
He didn't look down of these people.

glazes on his cone 6 stoneware much of the time. i guess it creats
favorable, unusual colors and textures. who knows?
