ANNE HIRONDELLE WORKSHOP (Cont'd)

Anne bisques her work to Cone 04, and having made
a fresh batch of glaze, she doesn't use it the first day.
Rather, she waits one day at least, and there are
crystals floating about inthe glaze already. The glazes
change on her with time, but the results can be quite
exciting. The sodium seeps into the body and proba-
bly fluxes ft a bit so that the piece is more waterproof.

Spouts are stuffed before glazing with bits of paper
towelling,
Baby oi] and paraffin in a 4 to | ratio are used for wax

resist; “it works as well as kerosene and paraffin, and
smells much better”.

In firing, body reduction is done at Cone 04, and
generally goes very slowly, at least two hours, from
Cone 6 1/2 to 8.

The following glaze recipes that she uses are mixed
with cold, not warm water, and are allowed to sit for
several days before being used, She claims the golden
pewter is the most rellable: tt should go on thicker
than the others, She dips, so the glaze naturally tends
to be a bit thicker on the top.
