Love to actually watch that technique. Do you get an idea of what it will look like before firing, or is it more of a surprise and the idea comes from experience?

TMS: I have seen many pics online in my FB pottery groups, so I knew how I hoped it would come out (and it did). There is a recipe, and you can do it with various color combos. This one was:
3 coats of Amaco brand Obsidian
2 coats of dots of Mayco brand Running Hot Chowder
2 coats of Amaco brand Indigo Float
All of the Frozen Pond recipes involve the dots of Running Hot Chowder. That's what makes the dots kind of flowy. Certain glazes encourage running or movement of glazes, and if one used a stable, non-running glaze instead of the RHC, it would have come out with just polka dots.
okay---real nice. I sure would liketa do some pottery, but i am waaay too busy fighting off Zurra vegetation, and working on my oooold Packard. Plus, caring for my petts. So yeah---my time schedule is full up. Yup.
okay----here's a buncha them Kenn-O-dees. (see photo) This is their annual family wing-ding. First one is where they're assembled at Base Camp, in Hyannis Port. Second photo is the K-Clan nearing the summit o' Big E. Hope that helps you some.
Here is the matching bowl we made. I call it the Big, Beautiful Bowl.
