DAVID GIBSON: Here are some different glaze examples of the pieces we have in pottery. You can see how the glazes change over the different clay bodies themselves. We have a white clay, our throwing clay, a sculpture clay and then two different slips, our black slip and white slip with the Rutile gold over the top of it. There are lots of other surfaces here with different glazes; different results to highlight whatever kind of design that you put onto your piece. Here, I have two of the finished platters that I've made. This is a black glaze that I've put on here and here's another platter with the shino glaze on top of it where we're highlighting that spiral that we put in our pot earlier. So there's all different kinds of surfaces, all different kinds of glazes to put on there.
