live and learn
Ultimately, it's about making a commitment.
And, like in a marriage, the commitment is made every day. Here, the commitment is to a long, slow--- sometimes painful--- process of learning.
In glazing this bowl, I poured too much glaze inside; the glaze was thick enough that it pooled and solidified more quickly than I was prepared to deal with it (was I distracted during the pour? I don't recall now). Rather than scrape out the excess glaze, I let it remain. The entire inner surface of the bowl was covered, so I figured I'd just end up with an interesting pool of glaze at the bottom. Unaccountably, this was the result:
clay body: the groggy, gray, cone 10 Laguna; glaze: interior is Laguna Green Tweed, exterior is Laguna Amethyst Matte
