The Bells

    All of the bells shown were created by layering two glazes together (with the exception of the three metallic finishes which were accomplished with just one glaze). On each of the bells the glaze number to the left has been applied in one coat to the top half of the bell. When this glaze was dry the glaze number to the right has been applied in two coats over the entire bell. Glazes numbered in the 900 & 800 series were fired to cone 05. Glazes numbered in the 1100 series were fired to cone 5.
    One or both of the glazes used on the bells are considered reactive type glazes. Reactive glazes react to clay composition, whether fired on a vertical or horizontal surface, firing temperature and hold time, contact with other glazes, as well as application thickness. In general, reactive glazes will readily flow (move) during the firing.
    As with other glazes, testing is strongly encouraged.
