Glazes

It was months ago, during the summer, that I was given 2 vans full of glaze materials. The problem was that I had no idea how to use them, but I knew I had been given a great gift. Well, after reading a ton of books and researching on the net, I finally figured out how to make glazes. (The measuring is chemistry, weighing everything in grams etc.)

Anyway, I fired my first home made glaze yesterday. It was a simple clear glaze. Looked like mud when I brushed it on, but it fired beautifully. A very nice clear glaze. Now it's time to start messing with it to get some other colors into it. It was a big step for me. I have done a lot of different things lately. I will have to post pictures of my new work. It's quite different from what I had done previously.
