Floating Blue
The picture shows the amazing variation in colours that our floating blue glaze can achieve.
All the pieces shown have the same base clay and were thrown and glazed by the same person (Cathy).
The differences in colour is due to temperature variations on the different shelves.
Oh the floating blue. As the one responsible for introducing it to the studio, I accept both the blame for it's variability, as well as the fame for it being probably the most popular glaze. :)
