The “Frozen Pond” technique creates a visual effect reminiscent of a frozen pond using layered glazes. It typically involves a base glaze, contrasting glaze dots or patterns, and a top glaze layer that often includes a flowing glaze like Running Hot Chowder. This technique, popularized by Kathy McGuire, aims to mimic the look of ice patches and water on a frozen pond.

This was the first plate I created using the GR WA2 system, and I’m still learning how to get dinnerware all one size. I glazed this plate in the “frozen pond” technique.
This was the another plate I created using the GR WA2 system, and I glazed it in the “frozen pond” technique. It wasn’t very successful, as even Running Hot Chowder can’t force Mayco’s Red Gloss glaze to run. It’s an extremely stable glaze.
This was the another plate I created using the GR WA2 system, and I glazed it in the “frozen pond” technique. I wanted it to be a lot bluer than you see here, but for some reason, the black glaze that I use as a background brought out some reddish tints in Spectrum’s Morning Glory glaze that I used for the top coat.
This was the another plate I created using the GR WA2 system, and I glazed it in the “frozen pond” technique. I wanted it to be a lot greener than you see here, but I think Running Hot Chowder is just so strong it overpowers every other color and turns it blue.
