kramerlib Posted May 10, 2021 Report Share Posted May 10, 2021 Hi all, Any thoughts as to why these two (same glaze) came out so differently? Wanted it to be green like the planter and it came out completely brown. Any help appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark C. Posted May 10, 2021 Report Share Posted May 10, 2021 Because of so many variables temperature atmosphere length of fire glaze application-thickness rim glaze over dip? other glazes nearby diffent clay bodies? this is the short list -many others as well Welcome to Ceramics and the forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Min Posted May 10, 2021 Report Share Posted May 10, 2021 Looks like you got a tiny bit of the green in the first picture where the glaze was probably thicker. When you glazed the pot in the second image did you double dip the top part? I'ld make up some tall test tiles, single dip one, double dip another and triple dip a third and see what happens. Count off how many seconds you are dipping them for and make note of that. Test tiles should be roughly the same thickness as your pots, and bisqued to the same cone, so you get the same glaze thickness on the test tiles.

Callie Beller Diesel Posted May 10, 2021 Report Share Posted May 10, 2021 What Min said. Bonus points if you measure the specific gravity of the glaze. If it’s this sensitive to application, knowing how much water is in your glaze will help you get repeatable results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
