succulents are super trendy where I live too. that glaze combo looks perfect for those pots and plants, nice!

sorry, mixing glazes and writing this in a hurry, what I should have taken the time to write is try it with one while still on the wheel, if your rim is super thin it might distort while taking the paper off. If so, just fix up the rim while the test pot is still on the wheel then put a piece of newsprint on the rim, gently smooth it down with a fingertip, cut it off the wheel, put it on the ware board and leave it alone until the clay dries a bit then remove the paper. The rim on the bowl in your picture you posted here looks thick enough not to distort if you take the paper off straightaway after lifting the pot onto the board. make more sense?

Nope, you just use a square of dry newsprint so it sticks to the wet rim. If the bowl distorts when you peel the paper off then just leave it dry a bit then take the paper off.

If you are throwing right on the wheelhead have you tried leaving a little squat stem under the bowl? Often done when throwing off the hump, gives you a little bit of clay to hold with your fingers without distorting the form. Another thing you could try if you haven't already is to gently place a square of newsprint on the rim of the bowl and lightly run your finger around the rim then wire it off and pick it up. The paper helps trap air inside the bowl so it doesn't distort, you remove the paper after setting the bowl on a ware board.

Lovely work : ) Have you tried using slightly stiffer clay for pots thrown without batts?

Gorgeous! Thanks for posting a picture of the finished piece.

Good to hear! I really like the look of white slip on dark clay, are you going to post a picture of finished pieces?

How did they turn out?

Came out perfect, nice!

"Starry Night" in earth tones, looks good!

happy dance! glad it worked out. new green looks terrific, impressed pattern shows through really well.

nice handle attachment on your mugs!

Very nice! Can't help thinking of GlazeNerds commissioned memorial project and your technique for lettering.

the depth of colour in the struck tile is amazing!

LOL, my thought too!

nice glazing!

Mark, Mark, Mark......it's a ring holder. Why, what were you thinking?????

Those look like they would be so tactile to hold while sipping tea, lucky Phil and Rebecca! Just got to say though that in keeping with your post about scale maybe change the ".35ml" to 355ml .

Very nice! Does not look like a first attempt at glaze making at all!

love the one on the right especially, lovely!
