After a lesson on Glazing today, we were encouraged to try out our own recipe glazes. This was quite exciting, like a cross between a chemistry and a baking lesson!
We chose this recipe to try – it was supposed to be an ‘opaque
speckle glaze’.
- 30 parts of Feldspar
- 10 parts of Feldspar (soda)
- 10 parts of Calcium Borate Frit
- 8 parts of Dolomite
- 14 parts of Talc
- 8 parts of Ball Clay
- 20 parts of Flint
The pots that came out of the kiln were totally different,
might be the position in the kiln, or the thickness of the clay – every little
difference makes a difference.
