Hi John and Diane,
You have hit on a topic dear to my heart. I have been
layering glazes since my instructor Lee Partin gave a demo in class a year
ago.
I saw it as a way to set my pieces apart and create a new unique look.

I too have experienced some crawling of the layers which could usually
be blamed on the glazes being too thick.
I've found that if the glaze is a little on the thin side and I dip into the
second
glaze as soon as the first layer has lost the wet look I get a much nicer
finish.

I have posted pictures on Shutterfly of 2 plates I did using layered glazes
.
The first plate is Tom Buck's Cream Breaking Red over MC6 Varigated Blue
on red clay.
The second is the VB over CBR on white clay. I like the look of both and
plan
to do more experimenting.

Check out the photo of the foot of plate 2, the underside of most of my
layered pieces
are more interesting than the top. Maybe a little reducton going on?

I used this glaze combination on the mug I took to the Clayart Mug exchange
this year
and amazingly it was picked by the charming Tom Buck himself! It made my
day and
I think he was pleased too.

Hi Angela,
thanks for the pictures. You pieces look looks great. Hopefully I can
figure out what my problem is. I am glad at least I have a few weeks off to
work on it!
Diane
