Title: When fat lava is not fat lava

Part 1

OK I admit it I made a booboo.
Bought this at a boot sale, thought it was too good to be true, and I was right.
nice glaze felt covered base, heart started pumping could this be a rare find paid the money went home, had a good look over and noticed the felt was a little, rough around the edges......

Martin i dont think you could call that glaze "some school kid's project" if it is, it's a b****y talented kid!

It looks like an experimental piece, rather than a amateur piece. Here's something on how to do soda glazing www.ceramicsmonthly.org/mustreads/soda.asp (http://www.ceramicsmonthly.org/mustreads/soda.asp)

doesn't look like any school project i've been involved with.....it's finished, labelled, well made and not on the wall or ceiling....clay at school is such fun!!
