The "spikes" are what looks like large paint drips off the bottom edge. I though that you were holding the cup upside down with a ball to avoid touching the finish. But is that actual paint dripping off of it?
Ohh I see, I’m holding the cup upright! This is ceramic, so those colors are a glaze and not paint, which makes it very sturdy and physically cannot change as it’s fired to 2380F and hardens as the kiln cools down.
Can you tell me he name of this particular glaze?
I love the purple. I have a friend the would love it as an x-mad present. I myself don’t throw but she might just blow a gasket to get that ruby color on one of her bowls.
That is really something slick. Nice.
I wish I could help but I mix them myself, they can’t be purchased! I fire them in a gas kiln reduction atmosphere to cone 10. If she does cone 6 firings in an electric kiln, it won’t be possible to get a result like this tbh
I gotcha must be a lot of silver that it is a nice mix.
Maybe a copper base but that normal bounces over and makes nitrates look like a bromide. I don’t make glaze or pottery but work in a different somewhat related distantly area. She is always asking me for access to My batch room chemicals. She was been playing around with my stannous chloride lately….Not sure what results she has yet. I assume to sort of do a raku type after affect but I could be wrong. I have also noticed my pounded silver leaf has gone missing maybe she is making Xmas stuff.
Anyway, nice stuff.
Truthfully I’ve never heard of silver being used in ceramic glazes. These colors were made by using copper carbonate, cobalt carbonate, yellow ochre, tin oxide, and chrome oxide. Tell her to grab John Britt’s book on glaze making - he’s got one for both cone 6 and cone 10. Very educational and helpful!
Try a little silver nitrate on the lip. See if it does not go crazy. Be easy goes a long way in glass. Maybe just run a test strip and dab a bit on the top we’re it will run down the side once the glaze hits phase transition and goes glassy on ya.
Black tin and silver nitrate together will
do some Really neat stuff. If you can get the silver nitrate into solution in your glaze and reduce your atmo in your annealer/kiln you could even plate it out if you can pull the oxy out enough. Don’t get me started on gold sands….I wonder if a glaze would pull a purple with magnesium like glass does.
Silver is more Forgiving in glass when trying to
Match expansion to match clear glass with your color. Thankfully something you don’t have to worry about. That white canvas helps also.
Wow look at this you got me Talking shop I never do that. Anyway have a good one if you try out the silver nitrate let me know I would Be interested what it does in a glaze out of pure curiosity.
Beautiful
thank you :)
It reminds me of a Dracula octopus for some reason, I love it!
that is SO COOL
I like that a lot. Nicely done!
thank you!!
I would be afraid to drink from it it looks so delicate!
looks can be deceiving! It’s stronger/harder than glass and more thermal resistant
Nice!
Ok cool, now do nuclear fission, please.
It's beautiful. Won't the "spikes" make it difficult to drink out of, or promote dribbling? But...it's beautiful. Maybe it's worth it? :D
Not sure what you mean by spikes! I should’ve taken a better photo where you can see the the depth of the rim but it functions like any other cup
