Second Assignment: Glazing the Marquette
As so often, especially when you don't go through the trouble of doing glaze tests, the finished glazed pot is a total surprise. I have learnt that black iron oxide does not give you a black finish after firing and that a celadon glaze gives you a very olive green when fired in a gas kiln. On the main hull of the boat I envisioned a contrast between shiny and matt black and a pale green inside on the medium boat balanced on top.
