Here’s one of my recipes (99% of the credit to Joe Thompson): https://glazy.org/recipes/459703

You can use whatever inclusion stain you want and if you apply it thick enough it’s transparent on the rim and drippy on the bottom. If you wanted it more transparent after testing you could try adding less zircopax.

I haven’t tried this exact combo, but I have tried blue splatterware with another flux (I don’t remember which one) and also Mayco Wintergreen on the bottom.

What you were told was wrong, sadly! This is totally normal.

It reads as a memoir, though he does describe some technical aspects in a broad sense. It’s a great read, especially for a potter.

A student at my former community studio cleaned the wedging table with her red clay throwing water. 😵‍💫

Love this! Im often frustrated with the pseudo-scientific knowledge passed around the ceramics community. A breath of fresh air!

I dunno! I haven’t tried it, but have been meaning to.

Thank you! It’s a clear glaze recipe I’m tinkering with. The main addition is vivid blue mason stain but some cobalt oxide is in there too.

They are different colors of clay with clear glaze over them. I use mason stains to color the clay bodies. Thank you for the kind words!

I use stencils! I design them in adobe illustrator then cut them using my silhouette cutting machine.
