mugs and jars II

Posted on Sunday, April 18, 2010 in Ceramics

i stopped by the Y on sunday to get in some open studio time. Glazed a few things, and saw waiting for me on the tray: my mug and jar. left them so I could show the turquoise effect to the teacher… and because the jar needs some grinding. it melted down too far. =(

Mugs and Jars

Posted on Friday, April 9, 2010 in Ceramics

I did a very sloppy job of practicing 2 color glazing for the interior / exterior for the first time. I used an untested turquoise glaze over a celadon glaze for my jar, and st. john’s black exterior with a glossy white under reeve’s green interior. unfortunately i forgot to put a resist over the celadon on the jar to get the separation i wanted on the exterior, and i managed to get some splashes up into the interior both times.
