Today I learned that my copper glaze can RUN if itβs touching a runny glaze and fired twice π
I am gonna have to play with that some more because I absolutely love it!!
I had to fire it twice because even though I tried to fill up a crack that didnβt go all the way through the bottom with glaze, it didnβt work and I still had a crack that would make it impossible to clean. I CAKED on more glaze in hopes it would fill it without frothing with bubbles, and it pretty much worked! The bubbles it made are few and something I can clean all right, especially in the dishwasher. The inside was much prettier before, though; see last picture.
Potters, this is a band of Amaco Ancient Copper (original formulation I think, gotta try it with the new one) touching studio-made glaze called Spearmint on the bottom edge. I had tried to make them not overlap but, well, Iβm not the most precise, and itβs a refire π
I did make this fern bowl for my own family but if anyone feels very strongly about it, DM to inquire and I can think up a price. I do also plan to make more stuff with this color scheme.
