I started by testing 15 shino glazes that came from reputable sources. I chose shinos becausethey tend to crawl when applied too thick due to high clay content and are somewhere between a glazeand a slip in formula. I tested the glazes in Oxidation and Reduction at ^6. Also, I tested each glaze overthree different bodies: Val Cushing’s Easy stoneware, #444, and group #1’s porcelain from 2008.Two glazes had the results I was looking for (Lana’s Ball Crawl and Korean 22 shino), while otherswere glassy with no crawling. I then tested the crawling glazes and the glassy glazes together forthickness and layering pattern (over-under, under-over) and found three combinations that yielded mydesired results. These glazes were then tested a retested and fired vertically and on cups to determinethe possibilities of actual use on pots.My final product is a dark shinny glaze that has dramatic crawling when thickly applied. The edges ofLBC curl up over the Wirt and melt in, creating white highlights and leaving bare clay in between beadsof glaze. I would like to do color tests using LBC and then test those with layering glazes to alter colorsand breaking patterns of color in the way that the white and brown function in these test tiles.21
