Help Please !
I did not plan this well. I got about 100 lbs of Riverside Grit Clay
from Highwater and found it to be so much fun to work with that I now have a
shelf full of platters, bowls and serving pieces bisqued and ready to fire.
Unfortunately, I have done about 25 glaze tests and cannot find anything that
looks good.
This clay fires to a dark chestnut brown at cone 6 ox. and seems to warm
up with a fritted glaze rather than a gerstley. There is a lot of decoration
on the pieces so a breaking glaze would be wonderful.
If there is anyone out there who uses this clay body or a similar one
and has a clue what looks good, I would really appreciate some help.
Yes, I know I should plan these things, but the clay made me do it !!
