Bowl Glaze Tests - Horsley clay, Oxidation Fired, Thrown off the hump

These bowls were thrown off the hump - a new skill learned this semester.  It makes throwing smaller pieces much easier since you don't have to recenter and rewedge a new piece of clay for every piece.   I decided to use these bowls for a bunch of glaze tests in oxidation since I hadn't had very satisfying glaze results in oxidation.  Starting from upper left, the glazes are: 1. Half turquoise and half pearl with glossy clear and blue over.  Dipped in Toffee around the rim. 2. Half woo yellow and half turquoise with green and blue over, dipped in toffee around rim. 3.  Half green crystal, half 2x oxblood with celadon and blue over.  Rim dipped in toffee...Some nice contrasts between colors and glossy/matte finishes.
