Glazing





This is my first attempt at glazing. As the whole of the 1st year descended on the glaze room at the same time it was chaotic. I found it hard to work with the mess and commotion. I dipped the thrown bowls in white glaze and left to dry. I then brush painted a design onto one bowl and used a squirty bottle to create drips down the sides of the other thrown bowl. I used blue and white glaze for the bowls. The thrown pots were also dipped in the white glaze I then tried spraying green glaze onto the white. I used a shoe lace to create a design on one pot and some packing as a stencil for the second pot. The smaller column pot I tried spraying red glaze at different ranges around the pot to create different effects with the glaze (thick drippy/thin faint). I don't know how well these pots/bowls will turn out. I think some of the glaze is applied to thickly. I dipped the slip cast caterpillar in the white glaze.
