At Ruby's Clay Studio we have a trash can of water for rinsing tools and
washing glaze buckets, so nothing goes down the sink and out to the ocean.
The settled matter in the glaze rinse is a mix of Studio Pottery's greatest
hits from reduction temmoku, celadon and copper red to the oxidation palette
that's heavy on the chrome and cobalt. It averages out a wine bottle green
with blue flecks. Some people keep a "light" color rinse bucket, and a
"dark" one.
One batch was "burgundy" 'cuz I put in the remainder of a Shaner Green that
was coming out really bad on the student pots. The scrap liner was better
than the real glaze. Never to be had again.
