Bisque Temperature and Glaze Absorption This is a test showing how different bisque temperatures with water content can affect glaze application. Listen to our next podcast on the Brickyard Network. Bacteria in Crazing Article US Lead Regulations US Cadmium...
When we talk about converting a glaze from Cone 10 to cone 6, we need to have a precise understanding of our chemistry. First we need to understand what materials we are using to get the temperature down. The majority of the time, the best option is Boron. We find...
I’ve had a few conversions recently about glaze durability. Here is my article that I published in the 2016 NCECA journal on that subject. I looked into the the question of why glazes are durable or not and found that we are able to correlate the overall...
We’ve been working on a long term research project on Oil Spots, with our research assistant TC @coneinfinity . We came up with this Orange Oil Spot glaze and we thought it was too much fun, not to post. Shout out to some of our class members who have also...
We continue the conversation about Cone 6, from our upcoming, online workshop. “The Middle Glazes: The Story of Cone 6 Glazes” This time we are looking at how temperature effects a glaze. Above you will see four glazes, but they are all the same glaze....
More from our upcoming online workshop, The Middle Glazes: The how, what and why of mid temperature glazes. Delayed crazing-it’s a thing! Our student Lois Aranow asked us if she was seeing things, because work she had that was originally not crazed, we’re now crazed,...
