I was given the recipe for the off-white glaze I use by another potter and it was a game changer for me. Before that, I was using glossy opaque glazes that completely covered my red stoneware clay whose color I loved so much. For years, I would compensate by wiping glaze away from certain sections to let the iron rich clay body show. Finding this glaze made my work more subtle and rustic, recalling antiqued or rusted surfaces worn with age. #ceramics #pottery
