The next several posts share a series of mugs, pendants, vases, and tumblers that I made from cone 10 recycled stoneware that was put together at the KC Clay Guild. Many of these are prototypes or test pieces (everything is a test piece for me!). I'm still pretty unfamiliar with using cone 10 glazes--it is truly painting blind--because the high temperatures, amount of oxygen in certain parts of the kiln, and clay body makeup all react differently with every firing. But that's what's fun about it! ...usually.
I made stamps with my digital vinyl cutter to impress cats into the clay and let the glaze fill in and highlight without any kind of wipe on/wipe off technique.
I really didn't know what I was going to be getting with this combo. I think I was expecting a darker top half because the glaze is called "Carmel 14" but I'm quite pleased!
