I have a glaze test for every jar of glaze I have bought. For the IN glazes by Duncan I wanted to see them go into the detail. So I made these L shaped pieces with a hole for hanging and pressed lines into the clay. They were bisque fired and I have a box of them ready to use when I buy glaze. I paint the glaze on 3 then 2 then 1 layers so I can see the difference the thickness of glaze will in how it looks. The ledge on the bottom give me a place to write the number of the glaze so I can see it when the tiles are hanging on the wall. When you look at these strips you can see how well the IN glaze shows up the detail where the clay is indented. Good luck, Wendy [ Edited by: danlovestikis 2013-08-26 21:58 ]
