Instructions

A beautiful glaze all by itself, Tenmoku Gold also combines in interesting ways with other glazes. 

For the three or more glaze combination tests, I dipped the entire piece in the first glaze for two seconds, let it dry, then inverted the piece and dipped a second glaze for one second. The pieces were then allowed to dry, at which point a third glaze was applied by inverting the pieces and glazing the top one-quarter for one second. The image shown with this recipe shows Tenmoku Gold Silky Black Isa's Bomb Blue.
