Making my own transfers
I have made my own transfers using underglaze on newspaper. It was wery easy.

The lower part is glazed in blue green 2462 from Sorring, and the upper part + the inside is glazed in 1310 crystal white from Sorring. It meet in wonderful colors.
It is fired to 1235 and have at hold with 1100 in the cooling.
Reclaim clay
To day I do the hard work, I knead my recycled clay.
When I trimme my clay I collect the clay I trim off and dry it in at bucket.
I also collect the sediment in the bucket I wash my hands in.
I chop it up and slurp it up.
After a week or two, I mix it well with a drill with an auger on.
Then I pour it onto plasterboard in plastic boxes ( they are emty on the photo)
Now I have to wit until the consistency is right, but I turn the clay every naw and then.
When the consistency is right, I put the clay in a plastic bag and leave it for at least a week.
Now I have to knead the clay well before I use it.
Travertin – an interesting glaze
On this mug made in ligt clay (208 Goerg & Schneider – Silicanordic), I have first glazed the inside with sand with effect ( Silicanordic 42008). Thereafter, the top of the outside is glazed twice with a brush glaze Travertin (Botz 9899), and when it is dried, the bottom is dipped in sand with effect.
It is fired to 1230 degrees.
This mug is glazed with the same glazes like the one above, but on this mug is the whole outside glazed twice with Travertin and the clay is 933 with cork spots, Goerg & Schneider altso from Silicanordic.
One i have learned to love.
I didn’t like this plant bowl, when I unloaded the kiln. It didn’t look the way I had imagined. It should have been read with a chrystal pattern over. Any way, one day I was missing at plant bowl and I found this one. After a couple of days, I started to like it.
I glazed the bowl this way.
First I put a piece of masking tape around as a belt. Then I dipped the bowl in Scarvas Nano Crimson red. When the glaze was dry, I removed the masking tape and dipped it in Chrystal white ( Cerama 1310), just a thin layer. I hoped it would have made chrystal effect above that very monochromatic red – but I think the chrystal white glaze seemed more like an effect generator.
A surprise
I have two mugs with sand with effekt (glaze 42008 from Silicanordic) on the inside and nephrite green (glaze 42312 from Silicanordic) on the outside. I was not satisfied with the inner glaze, and gave the mugs a round of effect generator on the inside, but nothing at the outside. I refired one of the two mugs, but 10 degrees lower than the first firing ( first 1240, second 1230) What a change in the expression of the glaze on the outside!
Ther was no room for the second mug in this firing, so now I’m exited to see, if it will change the character of the outer glaze like the first mug. I have to wait at coupple of weeks!
two mugs after the first firing at 1240 degrees.
After refiring at 1230 degrees.
