Some mugs, where the top is dipped in crystal white (sorring 1310)
These mugs are dipped in Scarvas nano teal. The left mug is dipped about 1,5 cm in crystal white and the rigt mug has only dipped the rim.
These mugs are dipped in Silicanordic petrol (42024) and the top is dipped in crystal white.
A mug dipped in Sorrings flax yellow (1349) and the top is dipped in crystal white.
Mug made in reclaimed clay.
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.
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.
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.
