Crackle Matte Clear Glaze
Description
Stoneware glaze for dipping. Fires between 1200 °C and 1300 °C (cone 5 to 10). Can be sprayed and used for oxidation, reduction, among others. Since clays can vary and have different properties, we recommend testing the glaze on a small piece of the clay you intend to use. The bag contains powder to be mixed with water according to the instructions. To make the crazing visible, choose a dark or colored clay, or rub black ink into the cracks with a cloth after firing. Non-toxic but not suitable for dinnerware (due to the crazing).
Stoneware classic glazes offer the depth, sophistication, and reliability to artists working from mid-range to high-fire temperatures. Many glazes will break over textures, revealing secondary colors and shades. Used alone, stoneware glazes produce beautiful color variations. One coat will allow the clay body to show through the glaze and two to three coats deepen the color. The choice of clay body, thickness of glaze application, firing process, and temperature will affect the fired finish.
