There are most of the tiles finished that were eagerly awaited.
Results are mixed on at least one of the glazes, so re-testing might be a good idea. It looks like it's pretty thin and didn't behave like a blue should...some of the tests show it as brown. Oops.
But here are the ones that worked!
I'll list them in order from l to r, and on each row I'll show below, the same 11 glazes will be shown on a different base glaze, which was dipped once, allowed to dry over night, then dipped in the "over glaze."
plum, black, white, glossy green, celadon, black mountain blue, clear, floating blue, eggshell, matt bronze green, and nutmeg.
Satin White base
Glossy green base
Nutmeg base
Black Mountain Blue base
that bronze green base looks pretty sharp :)
ReplyDeleteIt certainly is, and has great interactions with the other glazes! Would you like the formula?
DeleteAmazing. What will the tiles be used for?
ReplyDeleteBy having them available on display, the students can choose which of 144 combinations they want to use on a pot.
DeleteThose test tiles sure would help to take away the guessing of what glaze to use. As an art teacher with limited glaze it was always a guessing game as to how the colors would turn out. Kids wanted to have solid ideas and you just can't do that as the conditions just varied too much. Enjoyed seeing the results.
ReplyDeleteExactly...and of course the results aren't 100% full proof. But these are a great starting point.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea Barbara. I love the different colored glazes.
