Southern Ocean

Some test bowls glazed with my latest glaze, Southern Ocean. It’s inspired by another glaze I’d used a lot, Blue Skies. But soda feldspar, which is in the other glaze, is not available in Australia at the moment, and the tin oxide in it is expensive. So it’s been reformulated with potash feldspar and zirconium instead.

These bowls were sprayed with glaze, which is how they have the pretty gradient on them. This glaze is very sensitive to thickness which makes it not very good for brushing. Dipping will work if you’re careful.

They were sprayed on the bottoms and then wiped, with only a tiny bit of bare clay but they didn’t run or stick even a little bit. I do like being able to glaze inside the foot ring.
