Well, it's been more than crazy the last week and a bit since I last updated! After my car broke down, an emergency trip to Vancouver, my parents returning from a trip down South, and a very severe lack of sleep. I am trudging onward with my glazes, now looking into doing some different oxidation/reduction combination tests for my next big test. for now I'm doing some minor tests, finding some new glazes to try and trying to re-create one of the glaze mixtures from the triaxial. I'm hoping to do more testing of the crackle glaze I've been playing with, trying it on larger surfaces....speaking of which...

Vessel shaped tiles! oh my

I made some interesting tiles to test on, why? since the ceramics room is rather busy and full of students this semester i am unable to make any large vessels (that and I'm so busy with glazes that it would be unheard of) i decided to make my tiles in vessel shapes instead of squares, or rectangles, or circles. I have made four vase shapes in each colour clay and four pitcher shapes in each colour clay, that's a total of sixteen tiles. along with that i have thrown three cylinders in each colour to test runny glazes and more layered tests.

Hopefully I can get these dried and bisqued soon so my tests don't have to wait too long. I do have a couple tests I've put through in the large ConeArt kiln over this weekend, I should have the results out tomorrow; I have tested three new glazes and the one re-creation test.

I'll update as soon as I can with the new results! With more pictures!

Cheers~
