glaze close ups

Glazing is endless possibilities, so I set some parameters for myself. Pots are fired at cone 10, and in this age of industrialization, I include at least 1 raw, local ingredient, either ash from local trees or swamp clay. Before bisqueing, pots are layered in total or partially with clay of a different colour and lower maturing temperature, then scratched through to see some of the underlying clay. Bisque, then glazed with a mostly all wood ash glaze and ash slurry washed over some or all of that. The under lying clay melts a little, the glaze softens and the ash on top runs.
