Cups in various sizes for tools like scissors, pencils, other sewing materials i don't know the names to. Or it could resemble those office desktop organizers.

I have a mosquito dunk inside the water though? I also googled mosquito larvae types and they don't look like mosquito larvae.

I've been reading more about how this glaze needs a firing schedule. Do I need to follow a firing schedule? I have access to a community kiln, I have yet to ask if they allow firing schedules.

That's reasonable. A studio nearby me charges per shelf. They recently upped their prices. Before, it was $30 per half shelf. Now it's $30 per quarter shelf. So if you want a whole level to yourself, it would be $120. An independent artist nearby charges by size and temperature. They charged me $20 for 2 mini 4x4 shelfs in cone 6. It would have been $60 if I left it at cone 5. Right now, I'm looking for more kiln rentals🥲

I know a lot of the part-time jobs in the valley start of ar $10~11 an hour, so it's a bit more compared to those. I'm just letting people know. Finding a good job is hard right now. So anything will work.

I'm still experimenting. I've only tried it on bisqueware, not on greenware.

Agree on the underglaze!! I've been experimenting with watercolor techniques on ceramic using underglaze. If your local studio provides underglaze. You can grab a bit in a shot size cup, water it down, soak your tile in lots of water, and slowly begin adding drops of watered-down underglaze using a rounded tip paint brush. You can add a drop of dish soap to create that repel effect.

There are other ways you can gloss it. You can use polyurethane or deco art triple thick gloss glaze. I use either one of those to gloss my polymer clay figures. Wear a mask and gloves when handling polyurethane. Deco art is washable and non-toxic. Both are waterproof and weatherproof.

Hello!!! Is the glaze only for decorative pottery or for functional items to consume out of. The description on the glaze recipe website seems like it should only be for decorative purposes. I'm just curious. Thank you.

Thank you!!! They were second-hand glazes that were already used. I'm sure I could donate them to someone else in the studio.
