Here are the latest bowls out of the kiln. I'm on the lookout for a new celadon glaze--- while I like the one I'm using, well- I just want a change.
Plus I want a bluish celadon instead of a greenish one. And I need a transparent one.
The coloring on this photo isn't best, but I switched the two glazes I'm using--- put the one on second instead of first, and well, the color was too dark green for me. Plus, the glaze was a bit thick and ran. Won't bore you with a pic. My problem was that I made three bowls with it. Next time one. Always learning! Still, I'll use all these bowls- and sell one of the darker ones at a discounted price. Nothing wrong with it!
Made 8 of these teabowls for a commission--- and as usual, used my makeshift spray booth-- newspaper and cardboard.... and well, the banding wheel. They turned out great! Forgot to take pics- sorry...
Finished glazing these clay creations for my nieces and nephews that they made at Christmastime. I think they are excited to see them... time will tell. Four year old Lily can hardly wait till tomorrow to see hers. :)
More within the next five days. I promise!
Question: know of any bluish transparent celadon cone 6 glazes to share or recommend? :)
Yes, on the lookout.
Thanks for reading.

I'll keep an eye out. Seems like I remember reading about one-I'll take a look. Something to consider is adding mason stain to a clear glaze, too.
Hi Amy,
I've probably posted this link to you before (forgive me if I have), but you may well find what you want on June Perry's web site http://www.shambhalapottery.com/technicallinks.html
She has a treasure trove of information about cone 6 and cone 10 glazes there.
Best Wishes, P
