i'm not sure yet what i will do with glaze, glazing has always been my least favorite part of the entire process. when i was a student, i thought i would be a painter or a printmaker, then i found clay. i realized that i really found painting to be very frustrating. i could go over and over and over something, which made it difficult to find a place to be done. i found that i am much more well suited to the process of forming actual objects than creating the illusion of objects on a surface. the process of brushing a glaze onto the surface of clay objects is just not interesting to me.

i have mostly refined my glazing process down to staining textured areas with a glaze, wiping it off, then glazing other areas, say those that contact food, with a contrasting color. This has been the way of it for some time now. since the spoons are a new thing, maybe i will try a new glazing thing. maybe i will dip them?
