Combing and layering various glazes can be tricky to avoid running, crawling, and other surface flaws. But,
with advance testing and experimentation, the results can be stunning.
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. (*See Oatmeal and Silky Black recipes in the Techno File article Layering Glazes.) The recipes above were sourced from Gabriel Kline’s book, Amazing
Glaze Recipes and Combinations, published by Quarto.
