Thanks Jessica. I tend to agree with you on the favorites. I'm wondering what firing hotter would do, as well as a more normal cool. Test tiles are great for giving us ideas, but the true test is real fires, in full blown kilns on full size pieces, as we know. I enjoyed watching this.
Can’t wait to try a few of these. One thing that really makes me mad at glaze companies is when the test tiles aren’t anything close to the true color you get.
Dragon stone just looks like Copper red from John Britt (recipe number 3722 on Glazy). And Lavender mist (please Speedball, chose another name, it will be too confusing) looks like Peacock by David Tsabar (number 19163 on Glazy).
You said "it depends on your taste". I say, my taste is please do better on the labels, Speedball. I feel slightly misled, tbh. But that Dragon Stone and the Lavender Mist are gorgeous!
I agree with you, it looks like the labels were done with a macro lens and show the glazes way too close up to really get a good idea as to what they will look like on a piece.

I have a feeling that all the satin (dull) colours will be a lot different on other clays than porcelain and at cone 6.
I think so too. I can’t wait to try them on dark and speckled clays!

I saw these colors and had a really hard time choosing. Now im so glad that out of them all, I only bought lavender mist and Dragon Stone 🤣
Many of them do look better at cone 6 but I fire to cone 5 so that doesn’t work for me..
Hi Jess thanks for the videos
Is there a speedball distributer in Australia?
