Glazing Ceramics

Yesterday we had another ceramic session with the technician, Fran, where we glazed our small hand-built pieces and turned some of our thrown pieces on the wheel. I have turned pots before and it has never turned out well and yesterday's session was no different; I turned one of my leather-heard pots but the glaze ring was far too large and the pot didn't look great.
When glazing my slab, pinch and coil pieces, I found a beautiful turquoise-green bucket glaze which I covered all three in, with plans to draw on-top in a Jean-Michel Basquiat inspired way with ceramic crayons. Upon discovering that the crayons wouldn't work on top of the glaze, I scratched and indented the thick layer of turquoise with Basquiat qualities in the hope it would create some interesting textures. I left my slab pot plain turquoise on advice from the technician and scratched lines into the pinch pot similar to the lines left in the clay underneath.
When coming up with Basquiat-inspired designs I jotted down words that came to mind when looking at it to scratch into the surface which I didn't end up using but found to be an interesting thought-generating technique.

EDIT: The works have all been fired and the turquoise colour I used on all three looks fantastic. Deep, smooth and unique on each form.
