Glazing Part 2


     I used the Oasis and the Seaspray glazes on my pinch pot last month. I poured the Seaspray on my entire piece first, and after putting wax resist on the parts I wanted just Seaspray colored, I poured Oasis on the entire piece again. After the glaze came out I noticed there were some problems with dripping. This could have been because the kiln did not heat and cool properly, but I also think I should have left more wax room at the bottom in case of an accident. The dripped glaze formed into sharp shards on the bottom of my piece, but it could have also ruined somebody else's. Hopefully, we'll get the kiln fixed, or just fire our pieces in another one next time.
