I don't consider myself a potter, yet, just a pottery STUDENT.<BR/><BR/>I haven't even begun to think about mixing my own glazes yet, I'm having enough trouble understanding the premixed commercial products. We have some dipping glazes at the studio, but some of these more unique colors I buy in small quantities. I will have to try pouring instead of painting to avoid the brush marks.<BR/><BR/>~KathiKathihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13186814675058675885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3439217614964375870.post-71679522397296265782008-09-04T11:37:00.000-04:002008-09-04T11:37:00.000-04:00Love your blog.

Your rutile blue is very much like our floating blue. If it is not dipped for long enough or poured heavy enough the brown will be the dominant tone showing up. I like how it separates over a stamp or carved area. I belong to a pottery club and we make our own glazes. We never brush on our glazes because of the non-uniformity of that process. We might use a brush when adding a second glaze to a rim, for instance, but never drag the brush, only tap it around the rim. You may get 2 or 3 taps and then have to dip your brush again to continue. The biggest mistake is not adding enough glaze when doing this. Great work. Keep it up.<BR/>Andrea in WynyardAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3439217614964375870.post-80046011253130506152008-08-21T22:08:00.000-04:002008-08-21T22:08:00.000-04:00Perfection is boring.

(Wonder if I could bring you some Carolina Wrens???)<BR/><BR/>Laura:<BR/>If you like flaws, I'm your potter! It is getting so that whenever I give a piece away, I include some statement about "The small defects are part of the unique charm of this hand-made item."<BR/><BR/>Isn't that song wonderful? It is my current mantra. The whole CD, "One Cell in the Sea" is terrific. I will bring it to NJ in Oct.<BR/><BR/>Lisa:<BR/><BR/>No peeking!<BR/><BR/>~KathiKathihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13186814675058675885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3439217614964375870.post-5861702342677368102008-08-21T02:00:00.000-04:002008-08-21T02:00:00.000-04:00Wow!
