My creative space

Earlier this week I went supply shopping and bought some new glazes. Some are ready to use, others I will need to mix with water and put them through a sieve before using them.
I'm always excited to use new glazes as I ususally can't wait to see the results.
I mixed a glaze earlier and fired it. I find the result a bit too dark so now I'll try to lighten it a bit with tinoxide. Adding a tiny gram will hopefully make the glaze less transparant and a bit lighter. I love this kind of experimenting!

    Oh, I'm jealous -- and looking forward to experimenting again once I'm done with a few orders. Enjoy yourself, my dear!

    oh! I moved to a new house near a friend who has a potting wheel - here I am a year later and not pots or potting or anything - now maybe if I look at your blog a bit more I could get inspired again...

    That is the cutest little thing!
    The blue is pretty intense - make sure you show us the experiments with colour. I'd be really keen to see what you do.
