Saw the results of the third round of glazed bowls I have done for bowls of hunger. I am using the glazes at the Denson center for the arts in Opelika. In February they will sell the bowls to raise funds to feed the hungry around the Auburn-Opelika area.

I like two things about this glaze. It is more matte than the glazes that I usually work with, and the glazes interact well with each other. I got the color combination from the Denson art center. I have enjoyed seeing all the color combinations on the bisque ware that I have dropped off. In my own studio I have a limited color palette to save space, and the colors that I work with tend to be shinos and blues. the glases are also more shiny as well.

One of the things that I like in the bowls glazing is that the throwing lines are visible. this gives a hint to the story of a Piece as you see the lines come though a piece. It seems a struggle for me make sure that I can give a piece identity while balancing the time constraints inherent in making production work.

I plan to head out to the Denson studio tomorrow. Seeing the results from these bowls have given me some more ideas in my mind to experiment with. I want to see how the hino (white part) will interact with other glazes.
