I had a mother and daughter come by the booth that loved my work and wanted=
3 large vases for the daughter's wedding, but they would like something bl=
ack or metallic or both. They liked the effects I got with my tenmoku on so=
me pots- but if I'm going to make 2 x 18" vases and a 30" vase- I want to m=
ake sure I nail it (we all know how predictable woodfire effects are :)
My plan was to just paint iron and cobalt oxide on the outside as these eac=
h give me a metallic effect where thick, but I worry about evenness (maybe =
spray with a bit of clay in the mix). Another idea was to use ocmulgee or h=
igh iron clay
Does anyone have a metallic glaze that would work for me in woodfire? I can=
keep these pots back away from the firebox a bit. Some side to side variat=
ion (as per woodfire effect) would be fine/desirable anyway. Anything varyi=
ng black/blue/purple would go with their scheme.
