Rice Grain Glaze! Translucent glaze windows in ceramics

I test two different glazes to see which works better for a rice grain effect. The idea is to create a hole in the ceramic piece which is then filled with glaze creating a small translucent window. I test two different glazes looking for one with enough surface tension to cover the hole. I also test a cover glaze and a raw clay body, and check out a few different hole sizes.

I'm glad you're using open source recipes for this testing. It benefits us all. Thanks Ken!

Sure thing!

You should get yourself an immersion blender, makes mixing small batches much more consistant. I like your balloon idea for masking off the inside! Thats genius.

I already have an immersion blender and yes it's great for mixing glazes

Your voice is so soothing!

Huh. different minds. i would have thought you would have dipped half the pot in one glaze, and then the other half in the other glaze. not sure if it would make a difference, but surface tension might play a role.

I've tried that but the result was rather inconsistent. It will also become more important when I add colors to the mix and I am still interested in the raw clay finish as well

Hi, can I find the recipe some where?

[@PotterybyKent]

Yes, they're both online
