Glazing ceramic projects

We are glazing and firing the ceramics made during the past two weeks. Liquid glaze is painted on the bisque piece which then looks chalky. The real magic happens in the kiln. With heat up to Cone 6, the glaze melts and forms a glass like finish. If you want to play around with making your own firtual glass color, check out the Corning Museum of Glass http://www.cmog.org/glasschemistry/
