Hot Spring Glazes

2023
Glazes sourced from soil surrounding Baker Hot Springs in Utah
Part of a project with Final Hot Desert

Works made with these glazes: Implosion Paradigm Incoming

Thank you to JJ Peet for sharing your glaze knowledge with me to make these formulations possible! Test tile photos by Carol Yuan

Hot Spring soil was collected from three different areas, ranging in color quantified as ‘Dark’, ‘Red’, + ‘Light’. Soil samples were slaked, sifted, and mixed with varying chemicals and fired to Cone 6.
