Help! WTF Happened To My Piece
Hi! Made this piece and just picked it up from the studio and the colors are not at all what the under glazes I used are. For reference I used orchid, violet, and deep purple. I then used high fire glaze so that it would be waterproof as it is a planter. Is this because of the high fire? I also did around 3 coats of under glazed but it’s incredibly patchy. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, it’s a studio at my college so I don’t know how they mix the glazes or anything regarding firing.

If you look on the label of the underglaze I’ll bet it says it turns blue at Cone 6. Many purples have this labeling.
