Glaze tests

I am still not sure if I really want to glaze this tiles... I did some tests and there are few glazes that I like and will experiment with them a bit more. So far I was concentrating on clear, black and gray but I got some surprises like green and purple. I will show you some more photos soon as it is quite hard to photograph them and so far I like just this 3 photos.

    Hi Aga, It's hard enough to tell just by looking at the photos....the blacks looks great, but I like the colour scheme. Might be nice to see a mixture of matt and gloss or a subtle graduation from clear to black - a lot of work though. Love your work :)

    Thank you for the advice :) I actually have some line test of grays and blacks but they are still in the kiln - hopefully will take them out tomorrow :)

Naked Raku

In the end of January I have attended a Naked Raku workshop in Thomastown organised by  Ceramics Ireland . I already was familiar with both Raku and Naked Raku but wanted to extend my knowledge in this field. Naked Raku is a firing technique in which the pot is masked with the slip and then glazed and fired @ 1000 C then the kiln is opened and pots are transferred to the reduction chamber filled with sawdust, and covered to accommodate the reduction process. The difference between the Raku and Naked Raku is that in the second process the glaze is pealed off after firing and the pot unglazed- Naked. It all seems quite confusing and a bit complicated but in fact it is very simple, fast and effective way of decorating ceramics. The only disadvantage is that the pot is porous and can be use only as decoration as it is not food safe. With time the smoke marks can get lighter which can be slowed down by applying oil or floor polish paste on pots. ...
