Welcome to the Kiln Goddess' Clay Pit of High Fire Glazes. This lens is in no way finished but I was getting quite a few visitors to my empty, unpublished placeholder that I decided to throw up some info and links. Please come back and visit and watch the lens grow.

Stoneware Glazes 

I am a big fan of stoneware and the results you get from a gas kiln fired in reduction. I love the resulting flow of glazes down the side of a pot. The flow of glaze on the interior of a bowl is likely my most favorite thing to experiment with when glazing. The bowl is like a canvas and you paint your glazes on, you know full well they will not remain where you put them. But as you get to be friends with your glaze and your kiln you begin to understand the flow of the glaze. With a collection of glazes I have used and come to love, I know the parameters that the glaze will move. I apply my glazes to the surface of the pot knowing approx. where they will end up. I see in my minds eye a flexible vision of the pot as it will look after the firing. I never have a set in stone absolute when it comes to glazing.

I am rarely disappointed with a pot when my vision of that pot is based on the concept of 'It all depends." It all depends on how the flame hits the pot, it all depends on what the weather is like on firing day, it all depends if I am interrupted and the pot sits in reduction a bit longer than usual...It just all depends.
