wow thats got some great detail going on!! some great possibilities in a lower fire range..
ReplyDeleteJohn,
ReplyDeleteIn your glaze book theres a mug glazed with Purple Haze and a white liner inside, like this cup. Is there a reason you use a white liner, other than aesthetic? Are you trying to eliminate the chance of glaze leaching and toxicity or are you just using the white liner glaze for artistic reasons? Would you use a copper red or purple haze on a dinner plate?
p.s. I'll be getting your John's Red tested for leaching on my stoneware clay in the next month or 2, for only about $25 woo!
Thats great. Let me know what the results are.
ReplyDeleteNo, I am not afraid of leaching as it only has a small amount copper but I just like the look of a the white on the rim with the red. Of course I change things a lot.
I do have red plates, too.
