  1. Joseph, When dipping was all I knew, I was always bummed by the glazing session and by the glaze fire results. Then I started noticing those piece from those who spray. Had the spraygun for 6 months before trying it, fear of the unknown. Now, there is no going back to the dipping. There was a transition and a learning curve for spraying greenware. More glaze testing. But now that is over and it is getting on with making!

  2. Thank You All!!

     

    SH Copper Ash sprayed around the rim, inside and out. Butterscotch thinly then layered over Waterfall Brown and in the very bottom is Selsor Temmoku with 5% magnesium carb added to create little gold specks.

  3. Marko, thank You. The middle of the paten is Watercolor Blue. Yes, Pete's Seafoam over Strontium Crystal Magic Cool.

     

    Take all of your glazes and divide them into iron and non-iron. Then try them over SCMC Iron and SCMC Cool. You will be amazed at the addition of color to your palette. 

  4. Cool. Marko. Very nice shape.

    I too just made my first chalice and paten for my wife. She has just gotten her own church and needed the chalice and paten. 

     

    Don't you love waterfall brown? Try it over strontium crystal matte for Iron. Every glaze kiln load has at least 1 piece with waterfall brown. 

  5. Yes. My test tile was dipped, 2 seconds for each glaze with SG 165-170, and it came out like this piece. Spraying has been a challenge. Each time the OS2 was sprayed too thin. Spray and wait till dry 3 times for the base, Oil spot 1. Then poured the Oil Spot 2.

     

    This is very informative and worth trying Frank Vickery's way (there is a .pdf attachment about midways on this page) ---> http://cone6pots.ning.com/forum/topics/6-oil-spot-mfa-thesis
