Pottery is never far from consciousness. Was surprised to be reminded of an interesting effect in the fading architectural grandeur of Subak Tabola Inn in the Bali hills. An old nemesis had for years and years been trying to get me to imitate the famous glaze that appears on a Perceval sculpture that he owns. Now the particular blotchy glaze appears be a compromise between oxidized copper green and reduced copper red. Not easy to nail down both effects in the same firing. Perceval is said to have admitted under duress that he achieved the effect by burning old linoleum in his kiln. Have yet to meet anyone game enough to face the wrath of the neighbors by trying the lino trick. But Mother Nature does produce some neat art. When we eventually get home, must have another try for the elusive. last time Lithium seemed to show some promise as a flux, any ideas?
