Playing with Chun
Question marks are what keeps things interesting when we play with glaze and fire. Tara brought this glaze into the studio. It's a Laguna Chun.

It's just a guess, but I'm thinking a reaction to the iron in the clay body and a long heavy reduction started bringing out the reds, or maybe it's just the cobalt acting in a way I haven't seen before, I'm just shrugging on this one.

I suppose, there's a little bit of copper carbonate in this glaze.
This is one of the reasons that I normally work with "in-house" glazes. I need to know what is actually in the glaze to make it dance. Otherwise I'm left guessing.
