Before the shine

Glazing is not one of my favorite ways of finishing clay pieces, I'm not patience enough to wait for hours to see the colors after a firing, on the other hand it is as exciting as opening a gift. Today I prepared couple of pieces with glaze, you can see the previous look is nothing close to the final result, well this time you are going to wait with me to see it.Estoy preparando unas piezas para hornearlas de nuevo y revelar el color lustroso que dan los esmaltes, no soy de las que tiene paciencia para ello pero me encanta hacerlo de vez en cuando. Esta vez tu tendras que esperar conmigo para ver los resultados.

Hi Sikiu. I'm interested to see how this turns out.

What temperature to you have to fire glazes at?
