So, today I am firing my first set of test tiles with a low-temp glaze I formulated myself using the Glazy calculator (and after reading some truly excellent books on it - credits to Linda Bloomfield, Mary Fox and John Britt.)
I am posting this so that, when my tests come out of the oven later, and they all look like shit, I will be forced to photograph them and show you my lack.

So, this is my very first go at making a glaze at home. The base is supposed to be an shiny opaque white. It all came out a little more satin than super glossy, but I'm very pleased. The plum coloured second tile is the base + 5% red stain and 0.8% cobalt carbonate. The third is the base + 2% rutile. The last is 2% rutile and 0.2% red iron oxide. The second pic are the variations on white and dark grey engobes. Something funky happened on the far right. haha. what's new? #pottery #ceramics
