Does anyone have a good article on formulating crystalline glazes
that they would like to post on the web for a permanent reference
to beginners? I'd like to get one that deals with why the crystals
form and what the oxide profile of crystal glazes is. I can post
photo's also.

Hi Marie,
When I decided to take Don Holloway's workshop, I had never seen a =
crystalline
glazed pot in person-only in books. I actually took the workshop as a =
potter's
=22vacation=22. On entering his home the first morning and seeing the pots =
lining
the walls I was hooked. I was going to learn the process, and yes, it is a
process both in the producing and the learning.
The clays we used in the workshop were both porcelains (I prefer the =
Grolleg)
but I've also used a white stoneware successfully with some glazes. We did =
the
firings in electric kilns with computers attached. The firing schedules can =
be
complicated but the computerized kilns make it easy to fire and Don supplies=
you
with several firing schedules you can play with in the workbook he gives you=
.
I've varied these to suite the different glazes I'm using and satisfy those
frequent =22what if's=22.
Generally, the glaze does go on really thick but not always. On plates and =
bowls
it usually goes on a little thinner. Glaze application is an individual =
thing
and it took me awhile to figure out how =22I=22 was going to do it and have =
it work
for =22me=22. And I must say that it took me several months after the =
workshop to
figure that out. During the workshop we brushed on the glaze but I find I =
like
to pour it on. The glaze you're using has a lot to do with how you apply it.
Each of my pots has another pot underneath it to catch the runny glaze-looks
like a saucer with a pedestal to hold the pot. After the firing I score the =
pot
with a glass cutter and tap it with a metal chisel until it falls off
(hopefully). I've knocked off the bottoms of a few pots that I didn't glue =
down
properly or made too thin=21 Then it's time to grind down the thin line
(hopefully) of glaze that remains where the catchbowl was connected to the
pot-sometimes that means grinding down part of the pots foot if you chip it =
or
part of the catchbowl if it's still attached to the pot.
I have to say that Don's answered all my emails since the workshop-and =
there's
been plenty and I also have to thank a fellow clayarter-Dave-who answered my
first question to the clayart group after the workshop (what kiln to buy) =
and is
still answering questions. They've both been so generous with their =
information
and encouragement particularly when things weren't going right- it's nice to
know when you've reached that point of utter frustration that =22they've =
been
there=22=21
If there's any other questions I can answer feel free to contact me at:
