    From someone who has been working with glazes for a long time, I can honestly
    say that often times the out come after a firing is a still a mystery
    especially when using overglazes.So with middle school students i have found
    that a full range of underglaze colors seems to satisfy even the pickiest of
    students and so I made a chart of fired colors using 1 to 2 coats of a color
    with 2 coats of clear transparent overglaze. I also made sample tiles of
    different glazing techniques: sponging, stenciling, resist, etc., and then
    one showing the use of Axner glazes that create exfine, fine, and medium
    lines for writing,etc. I put these sample tiles near the glazing area and it
    allows the students to see the fired colors and identify the bottles by name.
    Save a lot of time for me to constantly having to describe the colors of the
    glazes,etc.
