Here are the results. One of my success stories firing pottery the second time.
My master piece. I have joined three pots together. Never had cracking.
This piece has had, two glaze firings, the second time firing, I touched it up with glaze, using a brush.
This piece is 10″ high. Three small bowls joined together.
Glazers used are Rutile Blue, the colour Blue and Brown, Cream.
This Glazes has been painted on with a brush, this is where you get different colours.
Brushing Glazer on, gives different results.
White Rutile glaze, for White.
Blue is Cobalt Carbonate with a little water.
Your Glazers come out different, colours using brush on method.
This is the end piece. It is like a space man with lots of eyes and no arms.
This is my Space man. Made out of Clay.
I made this by joining three wheel thrown pots together.
In the first firing I never put enough glaze on in different spots.
My space man, I glazed two times. The hardest part was the glazes, it take a long time to dry second time. Some parts I rub with sand paper, so the glaze stuck.
You can glaze your pots 2 times, some times it works out ok,
other time your pot cracks, not a happy ending.
Don’t throw your mistakes away, fire them 2-3 times to see what happens. First time you might not like the colour of the glaze, change glazers, add more colours on top of each other, try different things.
I have a kiln at home, it is only a small kiln. I tell my self, I can make mistakes, it is mine. And yes I do make mistakes.
I like the colours you get when doing your own glazers.
Hear is what I do with my mistakes.
You can do it neater, it is a out door pot. No waste. I like it.
Happy Potting.
