Hi I'm Betty Ingham on behalf of Expert Village. We are going to do big platters and that way we can dip the platters in here a lot easier then well some of them we can't get in our buckets. So this is red just because a glaze is a certain color in the liquid form doesn't mean that it is going to come out that color for instance this big vase here this is called Vegas red. It is a cooper red and this is called Leon tan and where they meet each other and over lap it would be a kind of a black looking color. So just looking at a product before it is fired you really can't tell what you are going to have. Every time you use part or you are going to dip your glaze dip your pottery in a glaze you have to make sure that it is stirred up really good.
