Well, safe to say this one won’t be available at Handworks Holiday Market in Jackson this weekend… 😕

My booth will be somewhere in the middle of the room.

Had some pieces come out of the kiln looking like poo, so taking advantage of the pretty weather to spray those pieces with cheap hairspray, then reglaze and refire.

The fired glaze has a slick surface - the hairspray leaves a matte coating on them allowing the new/reglazing to adhere to the already glazed pottery better (and not run/slide off). Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t - but at this point I have nothing to lose to TRY to improve them.

FYI… a durn stinkbug can survive being sprayed with Aqua Net extra super hold hairspray. Go figure.

Why does handcrafted pottery cost more than mass produced pottery?
Here are pieces with 6-7 different glazes (3 layers of each of those 6-7 different glazes) on them (but the end result is spectacular).
