Dear Readers,
I am currently working on a very large plate to be entered in a juried show
if I get it done on time. Does anyone have a glaze formula that might look
like ancient rocks or very dry and primoridal? The current article in CM
(An Ecological Aesthetic) is a prime example of a glaze type that I am
searching for. Of course I don't have a lot of time for study and glaze
testing and cone 04 is not my usual firing but I might be willing to try. I
have used stain like approaches before but like this very nondescript thing
and would certainly support this current project - Does anyone have a cone
04 bone Matt glaze?

I like the effect I get from using a natural sponge to apply several
different earth toned stains on bisque. They were then put in an electric
kiln for the 'glaze' firing, but without any glaze. I got a book on faux
finishing techniques for paint & adapted them for staining bisque. It it
looks too dry for you with just the stain, warm the piece up, apply some
paste wax & buff.
I've also gotten very 'just dug up out of the earth' looks from ^04 course
red clay soda fired without any glaze or stain.
