Glaze Notes 2.2


Finally! My cups for the most part are glazed. The last one on the right is glazed but has yet to be fired. (From the Left)
#1.  Dark Blue/Goldenrod Shino, 5 oz
#2. White/Chun Plum, 8 oz.
#3. Seaspray/Secondhand Rose, 7 oz
#4. Dark Blue/ Secondhand Rose, ounces unknown





#1. and #3. gave me some difficulty in glazing. They did not turn out the colors that I had expected, but overall their designs compliment their color.#3. especially was difficult because of the glaze seems to thin out at the bottom which is strange since usually the glaze come s to the bottom upon firing. #2. is my favorite because of its color and because the shape was difficult for me to achieve. I had to work very hard in order tho produce the shape I wanted but I did succeed. #4. was difficult because the shape is difficult to attach a matching handle to. I finally pulled a copacetic handle ad attached it. Unfortunately, the kiln has been, it would seem, on back order, and it has taken a little while to get it fired as bisque ware and then glazed.
