this recipe is third generation, and after several attempts to 'breed' a dark crystalline glaze, I stumbled on this;
this would be a good example of cobalt and nickel competing for crystal coloration. it's a greener hue in person, but with so much refraction going on, photographing it has been difficult. another stable glaze, in terms of crazing and keeping up with the porcelain.
when soaked in acid to leach excess oxides;
quite different!
trying to think of a good name for this result...
and still trying to get a fully deep/dark crystalline glaze. already have some ideas from this result though, testing that out next firing!
Big news! Well, news to some. As of now, I am a full time artist 🎉 This milestone has been a dream years in the making. I turn 30 this year, and I'm very excited to try my hand at prioritizing my art. It feels like the right time.
Thank you to everyone who has ever supported me through the years to get me to this point. Every little bit has led to this moment, and I will never be able to express enough gratitude. Let's see if we can make this full-time-artist thing stick!
Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you. I love you, be good!
Just clocked out of my last shift at UPS! I've enjoyed the last few years working part-time here, but I will enjoy not getting up at 3am every morning even more 😂 we are now officially full time artists! Thank you to everyone who has helped us get here 🙏 never imagined in my wildest dreams that we could live 100% off our artwork.

probably redid this recipe 5x to fine tune the chemistry according to all the research available before trying this. quite happy. here's how it keeps the porcelain translucency
