Side lighthing



Roll around lamp on the left highlights surface detail. Here I'm set to dip this jar (it's a jar!) upside down in glaze. The inside and lip are liner glazed and waxed. I like using tape! I started taping feet early on. It provides a handle for dipping and a clean glaze line. Notes: The notch/groove at the top of the foot makes a line to tape to, and a bold glaze edge. Be sure to stick the end of the tape to the beginning, else it pops loose and you drop the ware into the glaze! Fold back the very end, much easier to remove the masking when you've thought ahead and left a tab.

On the left in the three green jar image, "Three pals" in this Album.

It's subtler with the opaque glazes, and depends on what the chatter marks are filled with, glaze thickness, mark depth, and clay type.

I'll post some chattery close ups ...

Yep, I touch the chatters with sandpaper after bisque*; I like the marks to have a sharp edge.

*I'm sanding outside, with P100 on.
The wares get sponged off and rinsed before coming inside.
The sander (that's me!) gets vacuumed off before coming inside, and there the dusty clothing is exchanged for clean.
