Glaze Testing

I've been working on new glazes and firing schedules.  I found a nice cool down schedule that makes my coffee glaze look richer.  It gives the appearance of a wood fired piece.  My other glaze that I'm doing is a teal celedon.  It continues to settle and powder.  I added more bentonite and hopefully that will help.

Glaze testing is labor intensive but much less discouraging than using glazes on finished pots that end up ruined because of bad glaze.  Glaze can make or brake a pot... and I mean literally... I take a hammer to bad pots!  So after much pot smashing over the years I try to remind myself to test twice; glaze once.
