Just wondering, if the hemoglobin iron in the bloody boudin isn't
just enough to make the celadon? For those who are of an
experimental bent, try Fuller"s Earth for the iron content, or--
spray a light coat of Rustoleum iron paint on your piece, green or bisque.
then celadon mixed sans iron.
btw, I found that many celadons craze, good or bad, but when I
doubled the silica, problem solved. (in one I even tripled). RR, what do yo=
=3D
u think?

Hi Nils,
One way to do it but the silica/alumina ratio is raised so they become
more glossy.
If you want to keep the surface texture the same you should try to
keep the alumina/silica ratio the same so adding more clay will help
do that. Best to do it with calculation to get the same look.
I wonder - has anyone used spodumene to get rid of crazing in a
celadon and kept the same colour?
See you in March - RR
