Oxide washes on top of glazes! Oh my!
phook replied to Rick Wise's topic in Aesthetic Approaches and Philosophy
This is facinating. Can't wait to try it. Do I fire the oxide to the same cone as the previous firing, or keep it lower to prevent the previous glaze from running? -
Hi Callie, This may not even be the appropriate space to be asking such a question however I saw you address a similar subject and wondered if you could give me any input on the process of attaching the bottom glass piece to the premade ceramic piece as in Miso Tanaka's work.
I have written to her multiple times with no response. I am completely dedicated to whatever work it takes to accomplish this.
Thank you very much.

I’m going to PM you. This is a bit of a long answer.

Hi Stella, I found a very old posting about the vitrified test tiles you coated with milk but I never did see the outcome of these tiles and wondered if you had them available, also I am very inspired to learn more about this process. Is there anything else you can share with me? I am especially curious about this milk bath process and food safety. Do you know if it would be safe to make a mug and use it for hot and cold beverages?
Thanks so much! :-)-

Hi phook,
Stellaria hasn't been on the forum since March 2015 so I doubt she'll see your question. You could try pm her instead, click on the envelope icon with the word "Message" beside it at the top of this page to try that.

I believe the process Stella was testing was trying to get the fat from the milk to soak into the tiles. I don't think that vitrified tiles would soak up enough fat to give the tile any kind of sheen. Fat can get old and have a spoiled smell to it so I don't think it would work well for functional pots.
