Sangria

The best way to explore who you are, who you really are deep down in your soul, is by trial and error. There is no one way to grow.

This glaze was a happy surprise that has yielded results far beyond any hope I had for it. I was not entirely sure that I wanted to glaze some of my work in this wacky pink color that I found in the studio, but feeling adventurous I decided I had nothing to lose. I glazed two pieces with it, two bowls that fit into each other like Russian nesting dolls, that were experiments of a form that I was decidedly not crazy about. They became the victims of my sangria glaze test.

I was shocked when they left the kiln, just like I had been with my Chun Sea foam creation. The glaze was a mix of pinks with hues of purple and some cases of icy blues blended into an amazing glassy surface. The bowls that I was not in love with quickly became the perfect canvas for this wonderful glaze.
