White and red stoneware teapots in Variegated Blue. The glaze was poured over the middle one; the other two were dipped upside down. Close up of teacups. My plan is to offer two teacups with each teapot...

A neighbor stopped to chat.
Seeing I'm a rider, he brought me a copy of this drawing. It captures something, for sure. I picked these three mugs as a thank you. Waxing in progress!
Liner glaze has been poured in and out. I'm dipping the rim just after, so a) there's a thicker bead of glaze on the rim, and b) there's less chance of getting any wax on the clay. Once the wax is thoroughly dry, I'll trim the edge with a razor knife and sponge away the excess liner glaze. ...when that's dry, I'll dip the ware upside down to glaze the exterior. Dipping upside down gives me a thicker layer near the rim, thinner near the base, which is just what I want! Even a "stiff" glaze will move a bit - gravity... I like the green wax ok. It goes in and dries as well (or better) than other emulsions I've tried, and it is easy to see where it is (and isn't)! |
