Week Thirteen

Well my glazes did not turn out. However, I think it may be because I brushed on the glaze instead of dipping it. Brushing on the glaze would make it less likely for rutile and ilmenite to actually get on the piece to make speckles. I made a much larger batch of glaze for this second round of testing so that I can put it into a pitcher for dipping. I dipped two pieces and may wait until they come out of the kiln to glaze the rest of the pieces. However, it is nearing the end of the semester and I may just have to go for it.

I am fairly confident that this second batch of glazes will turn out like the test tiles as long as I dip the piece, but you never know with glazes.
