Hi, clayarters..
First may I say that I have tested, tested, and am still testing base
glazes to find one that will allow my oxides to run , but still let the
glaze stay on the pot as well.. This was one of my very first questions
when I found clayart.. I believe Tom or Roy sent me to Tony's website, for
which I am very grateful.. I am not a glaze guru.. but have been able to
experiment with some success on stable glazes... But,, I still need a glaze
that lets the oxides "feather" (for lack of a better description). Help!
anyone have one that they could share?? I fire ^6 electric.. Many
thanks...and have enjoyed all posts and I plan to get to Charlotte for
sure.. maybe Denver and look forward to meeting all of you great folks!
gracie in Carolina, where for today it's winter again....

Gracie, did any one give you a recipe or a discription of a technique using
glaze washes to get the feathered glazes you wanted? I agree with others
who have written, the usual technique to get the effect you describe is one
glaze over another, usually the best effect is from a colorful matt over a
light colored shiny glaze. Do you still want recipes or are you going to
try using the ones you have already tested over oneanother? Judi B.
