shades of blue

Along with the melted lantern, these test tiles came out of the kiln last week. They are a mixture of stoneware (Walker's No 10) and porcelain (Southern Ice) with various decorative techniques such as texture rubbings, acrylic binder relief, scraffito and carving, then dipped in variations of coloured glazes that we made ourselves! I've collated all the cobalt pigmented ones here as they are most relevent to my work at the moment.
