Those are lovely pieces Lee. I struggle with not overworking a piece when I want it to look organic. But, I think that smooth edges can eliminate a look that is "too rough" yet still maintain a "funky" look.

Hulk, are you willing to share this recipe? Or maybe you already did and I overlooked it. Thank you!

Hulk reacted to a post in a topic: Would like to tweak a glaze to make it a bit less satin and more glossy

Thank you Neil and Callie, that's useful info. However, I still don't know how many grams of silica to add to the test glaze whether it's one quart or one gallon. I was hoping that someone could look at the recipe and tell me how many grams of silica they would recommend to add to either the quart or gallon container each time I add silica. I have no idea how many grams to start with. As you can see, I am a real novice when it comes to glaze mixing and trying to learn.

I made up 5 gallons of the following recipe, but am now thinking I would like it to be less satin and move towards just a wee bit glossy. I am assuming I should add some silica, but wondering how much? I thought I would measure out three one gallon containers and add a different amount of silica to each, but wondering if anyone can suggest how many grams of silica to add to each gallon container for testing. G1214Z Ferro frit 3124 36 Wollastonite 27 EPK 35 Silica 5 Total 103 (the poster on Glazy recognizes that this adds up to 103 & states it is not an error) Here is the link on Glazy.org https://glazy.org/recipes/1486

What style of pottery sells best?
Bam2015 replied to Bam2015's topic in Business, Marketing, and Accounting
Thank you for your responses, but I am thinking that I wasn't very clear on my question, my apologies. I meant surface decoration or colors rather than type of pot such as mugs, bowls, etc. -

Maybe this question is better suited to a QOTW, but I am going to start a thread on this sub forum. I think my question fo 'what type of pottery sells best' is probably a matter of both regional observation and opinion, but wondering, is it traditional glazing, sgraffito, attention to surface decoration, soda fired, or something else? I know that I am not covering all types, but mentioned a couple to get the thread started. I'm assuming that functional such as mugs and bowls sell better than figurative or decorative type pottery?

I did not mean to take this thread down a different path but appreciate the responses. Mea, hopefully this thread will result in a new glaze formulation for you. Betty

This post is truly mind boggling to me. I know that glaze chemistry is complex, but this thread now makes me question if I should just buy commercial clear glaze rather than make my own because I might be creating an end product that is neither durable nor safe over time. Maybe I have no business making my own glaze if the info in this thread is way over my head.
