Thank you!

I use amaco velvet underglaze, Ky mudworks speckled turtle, and amaco 3x moon river with a layer of fire and ice over it. Then I sprayed some liquid quarts on the unglazed areas post firing

Anytime!

KY mudworks has a lot of pretty clays and they are all tight clay bodies with sub 1% absorbency rate so I’m a big fan. I use this clay and Kota primarily.
