Finally trying Gwen's numerical challenges
@Gwen Sandau suggested using 3 glazes with consecutive numbers. These are 3 of the new Coyote fantasy glazes. MBG224 Pixy Wings MBG223 Direwolf MBG222 Stardust I found these glazes very well behaved. I only had one problem which may have been an application error.

So pretty!
Remember My “Secret Chip Experiment”…? Here’s The Result 👀
I finally managed to finish editing and upload my Mystery Glaze Chip experiment video to YouTube 💜 To put this experiment into context… I actually started this around 6 weeks ago 😅 It’s involved: ✨ two low-fire firings ✨ two cone 6 firings ✨ multiple rounds of testing ✨ test tiles AND actual functional pieces Some of you may have spotted a few of the pieces appearing in my last kiln opening video, and quite a few people have been asking what on earth I’ve been testing 😂 As most of you know… I LOVE glaze chips, I LOVE testing, and I really wanted to venture into the unknown a little and see just how far I could take this experiment. Needless to say… this definitely isn’t the end of it. If anything, this feels like the beginning because I now want to take the testing even further 👀 It’s honestly taken me over 2.5 weeks just to edit together all the footage, firings, tests and photos from the past 6 weeks into one video, and trying to make it flow coherently was definitely a challenge 😅 So apologies if parts feel a little chaotic or rabbit-warren-like! But I’m genuinely SO excited by some of the things I’ve learned and some of the results that came out of this. I actually shared a tiny sneak peek of this experiment in a Skool call weeks ago, so this is where the experiment has progressed to now 💜 Would absolutely love to hear what you think if you decide to take a peek 😊 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=srzbVWc8kZo

Maybe that's it, Pat. I saw it and clicked right away!
Crazed and Confused?
Hello all. Crazing can be a confusing glaze problem, and there are a lot of myths out there regarding its causes. (Just like a lot of glaze defects) I can explain it, but if you want the experts, you can't do any better than the Ceramics Materials Workshop. Here, they provide a short lesson on crazing, its causes, the myths surrounding it, and the chemistry that causes it... yes, always. It's very short; just over 12 minutes. It's also free, so please watch: https://youtu.be/NkNda1R-xro?si=iV-AMlQBlMQWRlPf
