![]() these are the first attempts at throwing on a wheel, the little one is small, about the size of a rim of a mug (couldnt think of anything else to compare it to )the green one os a little bigger, unfortunatly the glaze on that one was sooooo thick that it dripped in the kiln and stuck to the kiln shelf and our tutor had to chip it off <_<
uh-hem, I just whistled and looked the other way

eeeerr well actually the teacher produced the kiln shelf, and chipped at it quite loudly saying " who did green glaze"? whist mags carefully pushed her bowl under a pile of bubble wrap! :ph43r: honestly, sometimes he forgets he is teaching adults and reverts to talking to us like a bunch of kids....the hassards of teaching for 25 years I guess! |

Brilliant Magz, bet you are dead chuffed arn't you? Well done. We were not allowed to have glaze right down to the bottom, unless the pots were going to be fired on stilts? But your technician should have noticed the thick glaze and sorted it before he fired it? It was not your fault Magz! I like the shade of green you have on the bigger pot? I always used to put the fjord blue on my big pots, I was mad on that colour! I also used the iron one that comes out a mottled green, that was very effective. OF course, all this was subject to either the good/bad behaviour of the other students that were not kept an eye on? Success all depended as to whether or not they had poured and mixed their excess glazes and if they had, into which pots they disposed it into?? Our glazing was a lottery!! Poppy

we dont have a technician, we load the kiln ourselves, what happened to the leather green was, someone took off too much water from the top of the unmixed glaze, they must have tiped it away and then replaced the lid, I used the same glaze but I sponged half the glaze off as I thought it was abit thick! its also a lottery as to what colours things come out, it seems that if you want a specific colour you are better off buying your own glazes, as you know poppy, it only takes one careless student to mix a colour glaze brush into the white glaze to totaly ruin a whole bucket off the stuff! :ph43r:
