actually, a matte clear. is that even possible? or necessary?

chris, that will totally work!
thank you so much!

and, ive never worked with a matte glaze.
the inside of the shaving bowl needs to be shiny glazed for water protection, and the outside is to be matte. but is a matte glaze waterproof too?

amazing! i love it!!

actually, they don't freeze, and they're not commercial glazes. they are glazes I've made with either stains or oxides.
I've had several do this and its aggravating when i have a certain expectation of a glaze and it ends up ruining a good piece.

the first glaze i made actually is a gorgeous brilliant turquoise. i made a good handful of pieces and the glaze was beautiful. as i continued to use it, it started getting
bubbly, or matte. (i know this is usually too much water, but i retested it several times) I've also tried testing it on different levels of my kiln because an 06 firing can give me different temps on different levels.

ugh.

holy smokes! yes, those are beautiful!
i havent gotten the specifics from the client yet, but i really appreciate the info!

thanks again guys!
