Glaze Notes
- Duncan EZ Stroke (yellow, black, white) - Manganese Dioxide (filled in cracks) - Tan
Manganese ran and pooled, but did not show up as dark as it looked like it would over the yellow leaves.
Slight purple veins over black under badger, possible effect of Tan glaze.
Visible smudging from multiple attempts at writing on back.
Writing bled slightly during application when bisqueware had already absorbed some water.
These underglazes are amazing. They hold so firmly and don’t bleed during the firing. Carving could be more refined. Pieces going into kiln today have red iron oxide instead of manganese to see if I can get dark lines without glaze pooling like manganese.
