I’ve been throwing for a year and up until now have only had access to my studio’s glazes (they have a lot of the popular ones - mostly I use textured turquoise, blue rutile, iron luster, Smokey merlot, chun plum, amaco snow, amaco obsidian, toasted sage, firebrick red, seaweed).
I just bought Honey Flux, Oatmeal, Norse Blue, Lavender Mist, and Raspberry Mist and I’m excited to use them! Any suggestions on glaze combos for these? Thanks!
(Pics for attention, 1 and 4 are Smokey merlot over blue rutile, 2 is blue rutile over chun plum, 3 is iron luster over blue rutile)

Really can't go wrong layering all the potter's choice glazes. I also recommend trying all glazes over a layer of 2x obsidian.
I’ve tried a couple for the northern lights effect but it’s been a sec, I’ll test out some more!
try using black underneath highly saturated color. maybe use a few test tiles to see which ones work best on smooth/textured surfaces.
Thank you for including your glaze combos! Coincidentally I have just ordered Lavender Mist and Raspberry Mist, when it arrives I’m planning on layering Honey flux under Lavender Mist and a Raspberry Mist band on the bottom. There are some examples on Pinterest and they look quite good!
Just a word of warning on honey flux and lavender mist — I would only do honey flux over lavender mist, not the other way around (which it sounds like what you were planning). I’ve had good luck with a base layer of honey flux and then another PC glaze over it, but for some reason it gets really patchy/uneven with lavender mist over it! Could definitely be user error on my part too, haha.
This is interesting, I’ve usually seen honey flux as a base layer but I haven’t tried it myself so I’ll look into this! I did see some examples of raspberry mist and lavender mist together and they look super nice
Oh thank you for the warning! Definitely need to tile test first, maybe with some option of honey flux over, under and without it👍
