Glazing part 2

 


For the pinch pot, I used F17 (Shino and Oasis.) They were both bucket glazes. It came out somewhat the way I wanted, but it covered up a lot of the design, which was a little disappointing. The only thing I think I could do next time to make it work better would be to leave it in te glaze a little less long, I think that I kept it in the glaze for too long and the glaze got too thick.

For the coil pot, I used P1(Dark Blue and Second Hand Rose.) They were also both bucket glazes, and it came out just like I had hoped it would.

Glazing

I think my coil pot is being fired, so I couldn't post a picture. 

• It is important to wash your hands and wash dust off your bisque ware to make sure that the glaze can stick to the bisque ware, because the dust and oils from your hands act as a barrier against the glaze.  
• You only need to apply wax resist when using a bucket glaze. 
• The appropriate time to keep your pot in contact with the glaze in a bucket is one and a half seconds.
• You cannot brush on a bucket glaze because it will not be thick enough if it is brushed on.
