When looking at a pottery glaze grid, it can be overwhelming as well as hard to imagine what a pot will look like with a specific pairing. That means for a while, glaze choices are all experiments.
Today's batch was a first attempt using 'runny' glazes for lip accents. I've been hesitant to use runny glazes not knowing how much they run. But I got brave and have now tried it. The pot below with the reddish exterior is a glaze that really ran. So I probably won't use that in the future. The turquoise glaze on the inside of the pot on the right is finicky and can be problematic, but it is really pretty. I will use that again.
Five more pots have been trimmed and are in line for their first kiln firing. That will be followed by glazing plus another kiln firing before being ready to be taken home. There is even a cup with a handle in progress. I'm looking foward to seeing that one when done. It's a benchmark!
