2018 (Spring) Glaze Test Tiles -- Reference post
This is an update to the last test tile post from July 2016 and meant to be a general resource for studio members, we're doing test tiles to show what various glazes look like with one glaze interacting with another. This is not the complete list and some of the tiles show glazes (e.g. Wax Wing Brown) that have recently been discontinued and we currently don't have any Blue Celadon in stock. In particular, we're missing interactions with our more recent Turquoise and Temoku Red Gold glazes.

The left side of the tile is dipped in (GLAZE A), then the right side dipped in (GLAZE B), ensuring a overlap in the middle of (GLAZE B OVER GLAZE A). Then the bottom half of the kiln is re-dipped in (GLAZE A). This means the bottom left patch of the tile shows (GLAZE A) as either a double dip or a longer dip of (GLAZE A).
In the reference below, AB = glaze B over glaze A, and BA = glaze A over glaze B, etc.
Colours in the tiles below cover a subset of the current glazes in the studio (not comprehensive) and fired at a cone 6 temperature.
