I posted this picture in my last blog post. This jug is one of my favorites... but it's gone and in the hands of friends. :( Someone asked about how it was made.Phoenix clay (highwater clays)
Etched words into the clay when it was leather hard.
Let that dry a little and the brushed white slip into the words. This is a delicate process to say the least...
Bisque fired it...
Glazing: outside dipped into Tom's Clear...
Inside dipped into Catherine's Oribe... Rim dipped into Catherine's oribe.
I was surprised at how much the Catherine's Oribe glaze on the rim ran. Great reduction in the kiln...
Because of the copper in the Catherine's Oribe glaze, it isn't used on the inside of functional pots.
That's it! Another kiln was loaded last night. Perhaps some of my pots made it inside. Will keep you posted.

I thought it was Mishima :) Wow. That's a lot of work. The results couldn't have been nicer.
I think that most oribes are prone to running. They are such a glassy glaze. I'm always careful if layering oribe on top of another glaze or double dipping it.
