Arrowmont Blue Green - A Juicy Glaze

This Is A Gorgeous Glaze

I am pretty happy that my first attempts at making cone 6 glazes have actually worked!

This was one glaze that I tried to scale up. I don’t make any glaze until I have made my 100-gram test batch first. Fire it. See if I like it then fire again on a piece to see how it works with curves, the vertical and horizontal surfaces, if it breaks and if it crazes etc.

Only then do I make a larger batch. With all this testing – on the final batch – things still happen. IE crazing in this case. I couldn’t see it until I looked closer at the test tile after it was photographed. And in this case, the color didn’t come out exactly as I hoped but it’s OK. At the time of writing this, I have NOT tested the large batch on a final piece. I will post an update on this page once I finally fire a test piece.
