Glazes~ How Many is Too Many?

I spent yesterday glazing- a huge ordeal- it occurred to me that I really have too many glazes....




I counted.

18...really, 18??









All are hand mixed, most of my own recipe...though a few from books. I categorized them:

  • Goldenrod, Indian Lake, Carmel Cream, Caribbean Seas, Turquoise, and Stony Blue are currently primary glazes.

  • Clouds, Leach White, and Kings Creek Blue are "accent" colors

  • Sun Valley Rutile, 8 o'clock, Autumn Leaf, Maize and Battenkill I use occasionally

  • Denim, Copperwash, Ken's Blue and Oatmeal I plan to phase out.

Oh, and I recently made two shinos to use in the wood fire, but consider them special event glazes...(do I count them too?!)

Am I neurotic, hard to please, fickle??  Uh, YEAH~

I just found two more...Kelly's Black and Persimmon. It's out of control.


How many glazes do you use?
