The Big Glaze Problems!


Ok, these pictures are to show you that glaze can be a big problem when it doesn't act how you want it to. This sugar bowl was something that I was really excited about. I glazed it in a Matte White glaze and then dipped the top half in Blue Hare Fur glaze. The two glazes didn't like each other very much. As you can see, the blue reacted with the white and ran right off of the pot. You can see that wherever the blue was on the pot, it pulled the white away from the clay and just ran down. The bottom of the pot was stuck onto the kiln shelf and I had to grind it down just to make it touchable. The eyeball on top is a glass bead that my sister made. I was going to glue it on the lid but the pot turned out so bad I'm just going to throw the whole thing away.
