My least favourite job in the studio

I love having my own studio at home, it's so convenient and I have more control over my pieces.  However, there is one thing I really don't like doing....which was what I spent my whole Sunday afternoon on...making glaze!  Making glaze always seems to be very difficult, I don't mind measure the raw materials, but it always gets very messy, not sure if it's the equipment I have or the space.  It just always takes a long time to do.  Luckily I should only have to do it a few times a year.  Hopefully, it will be a bit more pleasant the next time when I have to make glaze.  :P

Still need to make more to fill the kiln, but I am happy with the accomplishment so far. Mugs to be
