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 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. This is a...
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, even though the firing was a long time ago. A lot of you commented that the glazes in our last post were...
Here we have a cool representation of glaze chemistry at work. These are all variations on 20×5, but in each variation we change the fluxes. 20×5 is the 4321 of Cone 6. A glaze with a formula that is easy to remember. 5 ingredients, each at 20%. But the...
Colorforms: Rose Katz’s NCECA 2019 presentation We just got back from NCECA, and we have something to share with everyone. For the last few years, Rose and I have been working on a project, trying to redefine glaze chemistry as we know it. We have been...
