I’ve been working on getting my crater glazes perfected. I had been firing them with my satin matt glazes and holding the kiln temperature to allow the matt glazes to develop their silky sensual surface. However, while this is great for the satin matt glazes it melts the crater glaze a bit too much. I am trying a lower temperature for the crater glazes and I will not hold the temperature. I’ll let the kiln cool naturally and hopefully that is going to solve the problem. Here is a photo of what the glaze looks like on the vessel before it’s fired. I make this glaze very thick. As you can see, the brush is able to stand on its own in the bucket of glaze. I put about 1/4 to 1/2″ of glaze onto the top third of the piece so it will flow nicely on the pot. More photos to come!
