GO FIGURE

Though I am tragically impatient, I do seem to have just enough to test new batches of materials especially ash as they come in the door, a potter's version of trust but verify. Illustrated is a recent glaze test on a small cup that didn't exactly work the way it had previously as it decided to not stay put, run off the pot and forever meld itself with a small piece of soft brick I had cut and placed under the piece. Though you'll have to take my word for it, I made the formula up as I have a dozen or more times though in bigger batches using not one but two new materials, ash from a friend and frit which has been as constant as the North Star. I am back in a terra cotta cycle but will have to retest this formula as soon as I can as I am hamstrung without this glaze and would love to get this conundrum worked out, adjusted and back into the rotation. I realize the ash in glazes can but filled with variables but it does seem this happens far more often than I would like, go figure.
