Here's a little look at some of the bird-type creatures I got back from the kiln yesterday. I'm super happy with some of these glaze combos / generally into how most of these fired up! That top one is a particular triumph - it looks like it belongs in a magical swamp <3

the cool thing about underglazes is that they can be rehydrated after they've gotten old and dried out

just crush them up and add water

because I was willing to do this, the owner of Saskatoon Clayworks gave me all the dried up underglazes (and some glazes) that he'd been given over the years. there were a lot more than this, but these are the ones I salvaged.

I still haven't rehydrated the glazes. maybe next summer. some of them are super fancy and I'm curious to see what I'll get.

I made test tiles for these and most of the underglazes worked just fine. I found some neat colours, too, here’s a sample

Other third of the glaze test bowl! Please remember that glazes vary a lot depending on clay body and temperature!

So the sky blue has already been introduced in a previous post, that is the lovely SW-116 Mayco Norse Blue.

Below it! (They had a slight overlap that resulted in that very runny and lovely blue) in a matte/shimmery gold and flowing blue is SW-186 Mayco's Azurite! I am shocked at the slight shimmer on this glaze (and that it's matte!) but it has a very lovely velvet feeling to the touch, and as you an see it flows beautifully. It's not very saturated colors but it's nice! *I imagine fired at Cone 5 it might be prettier but still nice!* the glaze seems fairly stable but I'd be wary of running.

Below that in orange with honey sparks is SW-117, Mayco's Honeycomb! I have to say I really enjoy this glaze. It's a nice warm coffee stain orangey color but with these small yellow crystal bursts. They flow nicely and it almost looks like the surface of a planet! Seems very stable, too. I tried it on some small pieces, no misbehaving at all!

And next, Western's 4538, Bkue Jasper Art. This is a glaze I really feel could be lovely at a lower temperature. It has a lovely glass to it, no pinholes or bubbling, but yeah it is very murky colored. Clearly lovely flow though so I would LOVE to see it fired Cone 5! Unfortunately this is kinda close to other glazes I have so not certain I'll use it much.

Lastly is Mayco's SW-140 black matte! And it lives up to it's name... almost. It certainly is matte, and black, and velvety to the touch (like, really lovely texture wise, would be GREAT for mug handles) but I would advise to apply liberally! It's oddly transparent somehow.

One of my favourite handbuilt pieces. I just like that leaf. In other situations, I have not liked that glaze, and I really limit my use of it, but it works on the leaf, I think. 🤔 What do you think? Yes or no to the leaf? . . . . . . #monstera #monsteradeliciosa #plant #plants #plantmug #ceramics #clayallday #handbuiltceramics #handbuilt #handbuiltpottery #maycoglaze #mayco #spectrum #spectrumglazes #yyc #handmade #clay #pottery #potterhead #potteryofinstagram #plantsmakepeoplehappy https://www.instagram.com/p/CejK5UFpDFs/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The look on people's faces when they ask for a green and I hand them a tub of black or red is priceless

I'm powering through this glazing round now that the more intricate mug designs are done - these lichen pendants were quicker than expected to glaze & I'm SO curious to see how they turn out once fired...I did some real experimenting with layering/butting-up glazes beside each other & I'm hoping it's neat!

Glazes used include a bunch from my two Coyote sample sets (Enduro colour glazes & cone 6 Shinos) plus a few from the Mayco 2023 new glaze sample set (ivy, riptide, coral gloss & fossil rock). I took pretty-ok notes, so I'll post these again once they're fired with some annotation, as they'll probably be the most interesting glaze pieces from this whole batch!

First official glaze firing of mine and student work. We are working with older glazes that we aren’t even quite sure where they came from. This studio is set up to mix glaze from scratch, which is something I’ve never done. While I see lots of room for improvement, considering I came into this with almost zero ceramic experience, I’m not too disappointed!

Another example of underglazes changing drastically with glaze. The Amacon white is very good and opaque, yes. But if I'm going to a smooth soft fog effect, I'd use Mayco or Western white (I reviewed Western in a previous post).

Sometimes the "best" and most opaque underglazes are only for certain things!
