Dear Clayart,
Photos of many of the recent tests are at


http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/alisapots/my_photos

album named tests June 8, 2005

I have also included photos of a commercial semi mat blue glaze where =
additions of=20
10% Ball Clay, Kaolin, or Bentonite were added. Each material changed =
the look of the glaze.
This was to show that Commercial glazes can be tested and to achieve a =
customized surface effect. =20
Each of these materials could also be added in increments in a line =
blend to finer tune the effect. This
was just to show a simple way of testing without mixing all raw =
materials.


regards from Alisa

hi from ny,
Thank you for all of these photos. I am a bit confused
when you say underneath the caption that a piece has
been refiredin bisque and I was wondering if you could
explain the process further.

I presently fire to cone 6 and am constantly
experimenting with glazes and the layering of glazes
to achieve rich colours and movement. I really like
many of your blues and greens.

Any info you can give would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks edy www.visioninclay.com
