Glazing a Stoneware Sculpture
(Dragon Ocarina)

Here is the dragon ocarina, finished at last.

The pictures show various views of the dragon ocarina. As you can see, the thickness of the glaze application makes all the difference in the colors and texture of the surface. Thin glaze application allowed the color of the clay and the texture to show through, while giving the surface a satin finish. Thicker coats of the same glazes gave lighter colors and a smoother surface.
