Glaze test #1

Alright. Over the next eleven days I will be posting my glaze tests and sharing my recipes with all of you!

This first one, I did up at Penland back in 2010. The piece that the glazes are on was made in a press mold, then I added to it. The clay body in which I used was a paper clay put out by Laguna. When the piece was fired, I went into action and put a series of glazes on the piece. With most of my pieces, if not all of them, I put a black underglaze on, then sponge it off. That is what I did with this piece. Then I added the glaze on the head, which is a Cristina Cordova glaze, balled black satin stone with Bogman's elephant on top. The mask, I did a wash of rutile, then sponged it off, then I put Ohio State Satin on top. The Screws are the same is what's on the head. When testing these I would try flipping the Bogman's Elephant and the Black Satin Stone, cause that's probably what I did. Happy testing!
