Down to Earth Clayworks. Blogging Thru the Mud. Friday, February 28, 2014. More Kiln Stuff and Tiles.

I think that's why I say my favourite part of the work cycle is when my pots are leatherhard. Element change out time . a new experience to be had! Tile Installation at Kwantlen University Library.

Maine Kiln Works / Water Stone Sink: Jul 3, 2011
http://mainekilnworks.blogspot.com/2011_07_03_archive.html

I was indeed wrong and the results gave me a strong incentive to follow up with additional tests. L and L Doll Test Kiln.

I test glazes, lots of glazes! A glaze for me is not just the color that one sees, but the ingredients that constitute the body of the glaze, that is the reflectivity/refraction of the surface (glossy, semi-gloss, matte), the transparence/translucency of the glaze, and the durable fit of the glaze (how well it holds up to freeze/thaw and its resistance to crazing and cracking). After reading John Hasselberth and Ron Roy’s book Mastering Cone 6 Glazes. 3, also be John Hasselberth. 30 Table Top Universal K...
