K-O TESTING
Illustrated is the interior
of a recent teabowl that I got out of the kiln, the clay was a small test batch
but the glazes are ones I have been combining for a few months now. The glaze
combination is what I am referring to as Kuro-Oribe because of the high iron
content and the fact that it creates a rather dark surface overall. I have been
pleased with the effects that I have been getting where a blend of glaze
thickness and gravity have their way with the final look of the piece more than
my experience as the glaze combo is still a bit new. The one thing I can say is
that the use of this combo has created a non-stop sense of movement as it
creates a droozy, tendril like effect running down the surface which I am
partial to, in fact I am a huge fan of glazes and surfaces that move a lot and
perhaps this is why I like wood fired pieces so much. I am thinking about adding
a bit more iron, a splash of cobalt and manganese to this glaze and see where
it goes from there, if anything interesting happens, I'll post up the result
(if it is an utter disaster, perhaps I just won't mention that part).
