Hello all. I am currently working on a large-scale ceramic bust. I am looking to glaze it in a way that brings a lot of texture into the piece. I like the look of lichen and crawl glazes, and have played around with them in the past. However, I think that is a little basic for such a large-scale piece. I am looking to bring even more layers and texture into the piece. I saw this piece by Paul Wearing, who I am super inspired by. He mentioned: "On these pieces I have used four slips, three volcanic glazes, three barium glazes and two crawl glazes". I was wondering how I could achieve something similar to this with so many different textures and layers. I am not looking to copy this specific example, but I want to have somewhere to start my experiments. I do my work at my university, so I have pretty much an infinite supply of raw glaze materials. If anyone has any ideas or recommendations, it would be greatly appreciated.
