aloha,
I have some technical question ...
I would need some help from some talented mugs artist on TC.
I'm looking for some satin glaze or something like mat glaze looking.( see picture)

I would need a "brand" suggestion. I saw that duncan makes some... but they only have a very few colours.

first I was wondering if it was only underglaze ( with no glaze) or some "bisque-stain like acrylic if so... does it support to be wash since it does need to be fired?

Also... I try to find some colors like "honey- kind of wood looking" glaze ... ( see picture) lot of mugs makers use this kind of color... but I still don't know what color it is and what brand.

another question ; about some effect glaze.
I bought several effect glaze... but it never worked out like it suppose to be. I guess I have a problem with the kiln program. I've try several time to apply exactely the Duncan or Amaco notice but it never works.
and my last question: I'm looking for a red glaze (non toxic) I've also tryed to find it here but the red is always dark. I need something bright.

so... if anybody could help me with all this... I would be very grateful :wink:

and since I think you are expecting me to show something... here a new mug I made.
Flyin' eyeball. actually it's very funny when you have 2 of them on a bar.... looks like the bar have bigs eyes :wink:

Thanks for looking
à bientôt
