Looks wonderful where you dipped it once. I remember Steven saying that the spotted orange needed to be thin, must be the same with this version. Thank you for sharing this!

Ok, thanks, Robert. I on the search for that brilliant orange. I have a feeling that it the reduction kiln that makes the difference in this case.

This was a pot from the SH workshop. I haven't done much trying to get the same results. Hope to in the near future.

This is the spotted black look I have been trying to get back to since the SH workshop. You can see on my profile picture that I was able to get it while at the workshop, but now that I am home I am not getting the brilliant orange. Can you share any tips about mixing or using the spotted black glaze? Thanks
