Two Gorgeous Combos By Rich Meychan 

Rich Meychan Glaze Combos – Cone 6 Layering

Rich Meychan is a potter from Ontario Canada, where nature itself suggests the colors of possible glaze combos, textures, and quiet rhythm found in his work. Earthy hues blend with the tones of sky and lakes, inspired by vast landscapes and shifting light, creating layered surfaces that feel organic and alive.

This stunning batch by Rich Meychan highlights the beauty of layered glaze chemistry and thoughtful firing. Each cup features rich surface movement where earthy tones meet vibrant blues, creating depth, contrast, and a naturally flowing transition between layers.

The first combo showcases a warm AMACO Ancient Copper base rising into oceanic blues of Seaweed over Obsidian, with subtle overlap that produces organic reactions and soft break lines. The second pairing leans cooler, blending blue hues with jasper-like warmth and delicate oatmeal accents where the glazes intersect. The results are tactile, balanced, and visually dynamic-proof of how carefully chosen glaze combinations can elevate simple forms into expressive, one-of-a-kind pieces.

Fired to Cone 6, these cups demonstrate excellent control of overlap, melt, and color response, making this batch both inspiring and highly educational for potters exploring glaze layering. A truly gorgeous example of functional pottery meeting surface artistry.
