Glazing an older Piece

11/6/2024

 
I was mindful that I may not have enough work to exhibit at ceramic Wales so decided to glaze a piece I had previously finished using wax. The piece was hard to keep clean as it was and the dust had stuck to the wax surface and it looked unsightly. The piece was put through a bisque firing to burn off the wax coating and then a mixture of glazes were applied. I knew it was risky taking this approach, but it also meant that there was a potentially exciting unknown outcome as well. The glazes used were tenmoku, titanium white, satin green and a matte green. Below is the glazed piece before the glaze fire, the clay is a red stoneware body.

This is the piece after glaze firing, I was really pleased with the results, and although the colour palette was a departure  from what I have recently been using, I thought the reactions between the glaze layers created a very organic looking effect which complimented the piece.
