Celadon Hi Fire (Cone5-6) Glaze - Pint # C-49 - Rainforest

I've been taking community college ceramics classes for about 2 years now but still have much to learn (or try to remember!) about ceramics in general and glazing in particular. This was my first time using a celadon glaze, and I have to say I'm a big fan! I've only tried it on a few test pieces so far, but I love the color and gloss. This glaze seems very stable and hasn't run at all. It looks very pretty over texture. The photo shows a test cup with 3 coats of Rainforest celadon brushed on. I haven't tried layering it with any other glazes yet. My only complaint is that my classmates all love the color so much that they've borrowed it liberally, and I'm going to have to get more sooner than planned!

I've had experience with Celedons in the studio. They produce a transparent type glaze with nice depth of color. I am using this one one a deeply stamped bowl I have made and anticipate the glaze firing deeper color within the stamped area and sheer in the smooth areas. Can't wait! Will update this review with a pic once completed.

I got this to try the oil spot effect by layering it under Amaco Snow and it worked perfectly! Took three thick coats of each. This is on the laguna 50 speckled clay

I knew what I wanted and it was exactly right for my pottery needs!

Three coats on laguna mix 5. Love the color
