While digging through old glaze tests looking for formulas worth revisiting, I thought I might share with you some of the most fun, weird, or spectacular results from my very first batch formulated around last Christmas.

Un émail qui fait un bleu surprenant. Le bleu n'est que dans de micros bulles. Le reste est entre le marron et le vert. Recette a base de cendre lavée et argile locale. Cône 10 réduction grès Saint-Amand

Also all of the glazes are mine that I've named after Mountain Goats songs. Top is Oceanographer's Choice and the bottom is Tucson Fog. #ceramicglaze #themountaingoats

My first attempt at a lidless reusable takeaway coffee cup. Too wide! Doesn't fit in my car cup holders, feels awkward to hold. Mouth opening is fine for drinking though so there's that!
Do love the way the tenmoku breaks and changes over the clay body too

A handmade ceramic cup with some clay over parts of the top. There is an opening for drinking out of and a larger opening for coffee to pour into. The clay is a dark brown color with a white slip painted roughly over it. The upper half of the cup has a dark brown/red/black glaze. A handmade ceramic cup with some clay over parts of the top.

Sorry I've been so quiet here bsky friends 💖 I got the Amaco ceramic printing Inks in blue, red and yellow and mixed them and did these little testers. They've just come out of the bisc and then I'm going to clear glaze half of each tile and fire to cone 6.

Six bisque fired ceramic tiles in a Buff clay body. Each tile has a wiggly organic design screenprint onto it in a different color of the rainbow.

Mōrena bsky 💖 ☕ Today's yunomi is a cute little cherry blossom inspired guy I made the other week to use my new glaze with. Love the way the overglaze combos with my pink one! #ceramics #pottery #handmade #ceramicglaze

This is a really interesting bit of new science, especially coming from a #ceramicglaze perspective. Maybe this is why historically we could 'get away with' using lead-glazed ware? www.sciencedaily.com/releases/202...
Brewing tea removes lead from water
Researchers demonstrated that brewing tea naturally adsorbs heavy metals like lead and cadmium, effectively filtering dangerous contaminants out of drinks. Researchers tested different types of tea, t...

I can't stop staring at this #ceramicglaze test. I made a new layering glaze, Riches and Wonders and this is it over my pink glaze.

Mōrena bsky 💖 ☕ Today's mug is one of my absolute favs... but I have no idea who made it 😱 I got it from the Northern Clay Center in Minneapolis when I lived around the corner from it, way back before I started ceramics myself. Love the subtle glaze. #ceramics #pottery #handmade #ceramicglaze

Mōrena bsky 💖 ☕ Today's mug is a bit of an experiment from a few years ago when I was starting on my stain-use journey. This one I had to refire a few times to get the glaze to melt the way I wanted but then blisters formed.

Mōrena bsky 💖 ☕ Today's cup is by good friend Janeen Page. She is known for using 100% locally sourced and/or foraged rocks and minerals for her clay and glazes. This cup she fired in the soda/wood firing we did together last July.

Afternoon bsky, I slept late today 😅☕ This cup is by the lovely Rona Ngahuia Osborne who I had the great pleasure of meeting and doing a residency with last July at Driving Creek. This cup is from our soda/wood firing and I LOVE the shino on this.

Getting the bsky #ceramicglaze ball rolling with a glaze material post! These are some oyster shells I collected along the coast of the Coromandel last July. I put them through a bisc firing and am going to be doing some line blends with them, using them in place of calcite/whiting.
A pile of oyster shells that have been fired to 980 degrees celsius. They have crumbled and become white and powdery.

I made a new Feed specifically for #ceramicglaze posts! There's uh... nothing in it yet, but hopefully some more #ceramics and #pottery people will come along and start posting about their cool glazes!

Meet my Sky Islands clear glaze! The recipe consists of 90% locally scavenged calcium carb, quartz, and feldspar (1st photo). 2nd photo shows earlier attempts at making a clear desert mineral/rock glaze.

A porcelain test tiles showing a clear glaze made from the minerals and rock just behind the tile. Three porcelain test tiles in the foreground. Left to right: The left tile is a gritty primitive attempt at making a rock glaze using local materials. The middle tile is another attempt using local materials that created a tan, cracking glaze. The right tile is finally looking like a clear glaze! Yay!

Using a digital microscope to explore the landscapes within the glaze drips on one fresh new cup. I spent hours filled with awe and curiosity while wandering around entire places invisible to the naked eye.

A stoneware cup with a homemade Caliche Aventurine glaze, with juicy crystalline drips. A magnified, microscopic view within a glaze drip. On the left is a pattern of dappled and striated blues and greens overlaid on the right by a shimmery, iridescent crystal. A magnified, microscopic view within a glaze drip. It looks like a vibrant green dragon's eye or a green leafy structure with a golden crystal formation above the green. A magnified, microscopic view within a glaze drip. I see a rabbit like face and ears within a purple and golden crystalline formation.

The Caliche Aventurine glaze flowed off a few cups while in the kiln. I know I should sand those drips off, but what if I give whomever buys it the option to sand or not to sand? I love how the cup is a bit imbalanced but won't tip over.

A porcelain cup glazed with a homemade Caliche Aventurine, with calcium carbonate from my backyard. This glaze has a dark background comprised of a gradient from black to dark brown with subtle hints of green and purple. In the foreground are iron crystals varying in size and density, flowing downward like a crystalline shower. A view of the bottom of the cup, showing how the glaze flowed off the cup in two spots to form perfectly suspended drips. The drips did not hit the kiln shelf, fortunately.

A perpetual caliche aventurine glaze, inspired by perpetual stews that can continue cooking for decades with fresh ingredients added. Glaze batch 2 was added to batch 1, using a different caliche for a slight variation in appearance.

A cup with an aventurine glaze made with local calcium carbonate rock, caliche. Each batch looks slightly different because of variations in the chemical composition of the caliche. This one has teeny glittery sparkles in a black glaze matrix along the rim, the crystals gradually growing in size taking on a coppery color and drifting downwards in a reddish brown and greenish glaze matrix. The crystals rain down, gathering in a carpet along the bottom of the cup.

I'm in the glazing phase of my ceramics cycle. Some of the glazes are mixed in small batches, particularly those used for glazing little sculpted bits, or one that requires calcium from my backyard.

One pint sized and two quart sized containers with a variety of pulverized minerals combined in three recipes. Awaiting water and blending. Then they'll be ready to use as ceramic glazes.
