    This piece is stoneware glazed with cone 10 mat white fired to cone 5/6 electric @ AMOCA studio. All the corners were wiped to reveal black under glaze applied to green ware. The glazed fired to a crystallized finish, resembling sand paper. To see more go to: http://www.frankbarron.com/Ceramics.htm

    I love the new work. 

    Partially melted glazes aren't food-safe but the effect sure can be beautiful and reliably matte. Another advantage is partially melted glazes don't run or blend with under-glazes.   I've used Cone 6 glazes at Cone 06 to obtain the same look.

    Being that AMOCA is a fairly long drive for you, do you do your work there or just take the completed pieces to AMOCA to fire?

    This is wonderful, love the way your glaze treatment gives the sharp angles an extra 'pop'!
