what glazes do you use and what are your glazing technique, especially when you use more than one glaze?

Hi Claire, Most everything is dipped, a lot one glaze over another. (for instance the blue is a frit red with a rutile blue dipped over it. The mardi gras has some stuff applied with a slip trailer. The milky way is a flambe with some rutile sprayed in patches and some slip trailing. The glazes are a result of trial and error often times with well known glazes reworked for our peculiar firing schedule. Thanks for you interest. G.F. Cloud
