Purpose:
-To create four equally formed tiles
-To demonstrate the effects of layering glaze colors
-To develop glazing skills
-To contribute to a test tile wall for future and current ceramics students
To show quality craftsmanship in my work, I made sure that you could see the differences in the layers of glaze. I tried my best to be neat and wipe down the sides of the tile.
When I layered the different types of glazes, different color combinations were created. I was surprised with some of the results, like how white clover is more opaque than I expected. The pale yellow however was less vibrant than I expected.
This exercise is very important for my future in ceramics. It gave me a glimpse at all combinations of colors and how they look together, as well as how glaze acts when fired. It was also important to see what mistakes could be made with glaze. (different layers, spills, color combinations)
