Mark C. Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 I unloaded a few gas fired glaze kilns today-all porcelain . I have a friend who was very specific on his plate colors-that is he wanted it all-as its a gift I granted his wish. I made 7 plates for him and they all came out perfect-Its what I call landscape as its many glazes. This busy looking combos is becoming more popular is certain areas I have notices so I'm making more mugs and smalls in this combo-its just a lot of glaze work.

Amy Eberhardt Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 Ooooh! I like it!!! Which glazes did you use Mark? What cone did you fire them to? The darker half reminds me of watching the flames dancing in our wood stove on a cold winter night. Beautiful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark C. Posted March 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 Fired to a soft cone 11 about 2 oclock in reduction. The glazes are home built There are 6 on this set of seven plates The brown is called red black its a saturated iron glaze with a dash of Mels which has some rutile in it added as well a small amout from my scrap bucket (the bucket I rinse all stir sticks and mixers in) I add a small amout which helps this glaze out . You wull find most scrap glazes are brownish usually and red black The orange underglaze is Mels The black is my zacks black that I have posted the recipe here many times-a saturated cobalt Oxide black with only 3 ingredients The overglaze is called orange and its a rutile base glaze fron Alfreds I think orginally-it was in ceramic monthly about two decades ago-I have been using it since 1973. The white overglaze is called Billy joes butterwhite which I have altered to segment more. The gold is Palmamar gold from a small J.C. near San Diego which a old collage mate used to teach and may still. I am not that familair with Glicks glaze work-I think I have seen his book on extruder stuff and think of his forms but have no mental feeling of glaze work for him. I should have shot a photo of the backs as well-Maybe in the am. Its go time here for a big show in Az later this month so time is limited during daylight as I have pots to throw dry and trim. I love this climate at times-I extruded 60 soap dishes was able to hole them and sponge them and dry them all today (not 100% dry yet) all in the sunlight while unloading a few kilns and packing van. If you live in a snow state you have my condolences. Except you New Englanders you signed up for it long ago. ( I spent 1 winter in New Hampshire) cured me straight away at 15 years old.

oldlady Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 thanks, pres, for the link to some of glick's work. the pieces i have date from the 1970's when i was able to buy a chalice for our local church and a small tumbler for myself. since then i have added a big plate similar to those shown, a longish tray, a teapot and some tiles. i was able to watch him flicking glazes onto many of his plates once on a visit to his studio. it is easy to spot a glick but i know there is a british potter whose work is similarly glazed. (name begins with an M??) cannot remember his name at the moment. anyone who wants to establish a particular "style" might consider these pieces. i notice an announcement for a retrospective in 2016 at Cranbrook. still wish i had been able to go there.

Karen B Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Really nice Mark. I feel that your craftsmanship is what makes the glazes sing. I am outside of Boston, ha ha and I love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark C. Posted March 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 I love the bottom so much!! Did you comb the glazes? I love these circles, it's like a raindrop fell there! Those are trim marks that make that look combed-I leave marks where work was done-many try to cover the way things are made . My esthetic and belief is leave some of how it was made on the piece.

Stephen Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 Great work! What inspires me so much about you and the other regulars here is that after decades of making you guys constantly change your work and that keeps you relevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
