Glazes

We have three new glazes in the closet, one a cobalt (tile #9), one a copper (tile #13), and one a creamy beige (mistakenly labeled #19--more about this in a moment). These are based on Cindy Hart's G1214W base glaze + colorants.

Somehow tiles ended up with duplicate numbers, and the bucket presently labeled #19 was identified as a brown glaze. It is not. It is a creamy beige/tan glaze and should have been labeled #21. The photo here is of Nancy's bowl from the glaze firing unloaded yesterday. The light half is the (approximate) color of the glaze I'm describing; it seems a bit darker in this photo: 


Last night before leaving class, I put a temporary note on that bucket in case anyone will be glazing today. I'll go in to the studio this afternoon and properly re-label it. I'll also add colorants to the remaining bucket of G1214W base to make the brown glaze (#19):
