GLOSSY GLAZE 905-6











Glaze 905-6

A glossy glaze with a slight crackle.  Has some magnesium in it.

Custer Feldspar                           392

Wollastonite NYAD M200        161

Talc                                            42

Grolleg Kaolin                            59

Old Mine #4                               87

Silica                                         259                  Total 1000

H2O:  700 ml

Rogers note:
"This one is similar to 1108-30 but with a bit of magnesium.  Probably would be a good testing base, but the W-30 wollastonite might make it a bit hard to screen."


RESULTS:

My glaze didn't have any crazing.

Added praseodymium yellow at 8% 4% 2% and 1%

Very pale sherbet green colors.

At 8% The glaze needed more water - you can see that it crawled.

























Lavender stain at 8%,4%, 2%, and 1%

 

Additionally added some neodymium to the  4% Lavender, and tested a tile that was a "mix" of all the percentages.

Seems to be stable and reliable, but also a bit boring glaze without much depth.

I should test it on some other clay bodies.
