These are the raw glazes on a bisqued white ^04 body. That is not the photo coloration. They all look amazingly alike. I am assuming that the true colors will show with the glaze firing.
I'm going to do some more tests on terra cotta and greenware. This stuff is not cheap so I am trying to be a bit more organized and not just go ahead and glaze on my favorite pieces with mixed results!
Due to the season and all the stuff that needs to get done, I am probably going to wait until January to fire again. This is an exercise in patience on my part!
Meanwhile...we are having sun and a bit of warmth with no wind. It's a good day to be outdoors.
P.S. I ordered these from Bailey. They don't have them up on the catalog but they do have them. Bailey generally does a 25% off on Spectrum glazes, so these cost $13.50 instead of $18.00.
As always, thanks for stopping by...........*s*

I've used amaco metallic but they are cone 5/6, those don't look metallic till after firing. good luck with your tests,
ReplyDeleteHi Linda....I've seen the Amaco metallics, but could never use them because of their mature temp. Now I need to fill Big Mama, the big kiln!
DeleteWill be interesting to see how they turn out. In my limited pottery experience I wa always amazed at how the glazes transformed in the kiln. xox
ReplyDeleteHi Corrine....When I first saw unfired glazes I found it hard to believe that they would change so much!
Deletenow we need to see the AFTER!
ReplyDeleteHi Gary....I'm working! I'm working!
DeleteDearest Suzi,
ReplyDeleteYou are very informative for others to obtain such glazes!
Hard to tell upfront how they really will work out when being fired.
We had a dreary, rainy day today... and it will last with Christmas day being sunny again.
Hugs,
Mariette
Hi Mariette....One of the things I love about working in clay is that there always something new to explore. Commercial Glazes have come a long way in the last few years.
DeleteWe too, are having gray days. I spend a lot of time in my sun/plants room.
Hope you had a bight Winter Sorstice!
