Emma Potter Posted August 24, 2022 Report Share Posted August 24, 2022 Hi, I made my first glaze yesterday, I’m very happy with the colour on the inside of the pot, but the colour on the outside is completely different despite the glaze coming from the same bucket. Does anyone have any ideas what may have happened? Many thanks Emma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly in AK Posted August 24, 2022 Report Share Posted August 24, 2022 Nice Emma! There are some real glaze wizards here, someone may pinpoint exactly why it happened. I have some glazes that get that gorgeous blue clouding, in my case it’s very dependent on the thickness of application. If too thin, no blue develops. It could be helpful if you posted the recipe too. Rae Reich 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterH Posted August 24, 2022 Report Share Posted August 24, 2022 This thread may be relevant: Have you fired any test tiles? If the above is relevant I would have expected them to come out something like the outside of your mug. Chilly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emma Potter Posted August 24, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2022 Thanks Kelly, that would make sense - I glazed the inside first by pouring glaze in and swirling it around and then dipped the outside so it’s probably thicker on the inside. This is the recipe I used https://glazy.org/materials/150981 Hulk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the recipe I used https://glazy.org/materials/150981 That glazing method would do it, aside from the difference often noticed between inside and outside of pots because of othrr reasons. Try dipping mug into glaze and holding the desired time and comparing that to your first result. Not enough glaze? Do the inside, wait o'night then do exterior..
