Glaze Selection Sneak Peek! We’ve got the blues (in the very best way)

As we mentioned in our first glaze-sneak-peek post, where we previewed our warm browns, we are thrilled to have picked out our initial list of glazes to test with our clays. There are so many beautiful ones out there, it wasn’t easy!

This time around we wanted to show off the blues we’ve picked out. There are so many ones out there, I’ll tell you, it was hard to pick just two, but these are the ones we thought were the most inspiring additions to our collection, which we’re trying to assemble as a harmonious palette that works together rather than viewing each color as a standalone.

Standard Glazes “Tornado Sky” and “Mediterranean” are the blues we’ve selected for our palette! We can’t wait to take them for a swim on our white and brown clays.

These are part of the selection of eight colors we’ve chosen by the Standard company, out of Pennsylvania, along with a clear glaze and a really neat layering glaze specifically for creating interesting effects in conjunction with the others.

(For all of you folks who know your way around a glaze room already, we will be using all mid-fire glazes and firing to cone 6 in electric kilns.)

Stay tuned to see what other colors we’ve picked out for you. We are making sure that all of our glazes are food safe for functional ware!

Keep watching this space!
