Potters Choice Glazes

There are a few new items in my Etsy store....

I bought some mid-range glazes and wanted to try

 them out with the stroke and coat glazes that

 I use on the flowers. I had to get some high fire clay that

would fire at the higher temperature

of over 2000 degrees.  I knew the stroke and coat glazes

would react differently at the higher temps.

I have resorted to taking photos and writing in a 

notebook of what glaze combos I use. 

I did download a guide from Amaco the glaze

company that makes them saying what would

 happen to the colors at higher temps.

 However some of their predictions were off.

As you can see- the dark coloring on the

pansy flower in the middle didn't even show up

and it wasn't supposed to have a reaction.

Plus, I thought the 2 coats of purple around the rim would

come out much darker than they did.

I am pretty happy with this blue bowl.  The colors

didn't change much on the flower.

I did expect more of a change on the rim

with the blue though.

What I did learn with the mid-range glazes is to put more 

coats for a more dramatic effect.

I really do like these glazes and will use them again.

So if you would like one just go to
