I personally mix all my glazes since they are not commercially available. Most glazes look like a soup with bland colors. The bottom of my pottery is waxed and cleaned to prevent any glaze from sticking. Since I use multiple glazes on the same piece, the glazing process can take up to two days. When the glazes are fully dried, my pottery is ready for the final firing.
Reduction refers to the atmosphere that the pots are fired in.
This technique produces vibrant and rich colors on the pottery. The picture on the left shows a kiln load before firing. The picture on the right right shows that same kiln load after the reduction firing. Before my pottery is sold, each piece is carefully inspected by me to ensure it meets my quality standards. I then personally pack the pottery and ready it for shipping.
