With the one on the left, I hadn’t wiped off enough of the glaze. With both of them I hadn’t applied the oxides strongly enough, although they have come through better in the one on the right.

I am trying to work out a process that is going to work, especially if this is part of my range of work I wish to offer customers in the future. There are so many variables that I have no control of in the firing processes that I need to ensure the preparation and how the materials are applied is as consistent as possible.

this time I used porcelain slip rather than white slip and applied the oxides more thickly and tried to ensure that the two tiles had the same colour coordination, or as similar as I could get them.

The tiles were then bisque fired.
