    50ml Jug

    Yes, something less flared at the top, perhaps just a small rolled rim.

    50ml Jug

    The idea is a tiny jug for an individual sauce serving or salad dressing. I don't think the rim is right though. Any thoughts how to improve?
  3. And thankfully not too much movement ;-). The main runs are from the yellowish Sandstone that is white when really thick. I use it as a base layer and also add a big dollop-ey third coat just below the rim. It applies in big drippy runs that freeze 1/4 of the way down and then run further when fired.

    1/4pt Jug

    Thanks Nerd, this firing was a great confidence booster (to make up for the last one that was not). This blue/grey and the creamy oatmeal are great. Artistically I'm not sure if the brown band brings much to the party (and I didn't get the edges neat as I think I over-thinned my wax resist.)

  9. Glaze application skills going backwards. Or is it expectation going forwards faster?

      Probably both, overthinking it and expecting more.

      Thank you. It'll be interesting to focus on someone else's expectation.

      ooh, will look them up. I also like the Unthanks from your part of the world?

    Artistically the single thin line seems to have an unresolved tension. Maybe this is a good thing as I like the simplicity. But my mind is pondering if this would be resolved by making the single line wider, or if balance would be restored by a second line? Equally, in the jug I feel the lines may be too broad.
