Matte ash glazes are quite new to me so I'm doing alot of glaze tests to see what works and what doesn't. The matte ash vase above may be re-fired in the wood kiln in October to see how the glaze texture and colour change in reduction. This surface was created by sponging on different metal oxide slips, then pouring over a matte ash glaze containing rutile. the result is quite interesting, if very subdued.. it has something of the ancient feel I was hoping to achieve.
I love nuka glaze! The broken colours are so attractive! Well done! Your oribe looks very pretty, too! : )
ReplyDeleteThank you, Midori, it cheers me to read your kind comments :)
DeleteLove the first two, the forms and glazes are wonderful
ReplyDeleteLinda, thanks so much, glad to hear you like them:)
DeleteMark the Oribe glaze is so beautiful. Is it your won recipe? Absolutely stunning.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the kind words. The recipe is borrowed, and slightly modified with the addition of some raw wood ash.
