Does anyone know any tried and true crater glazes good for non
functional/sculptural work? I have a basic fish crawl which is great from
cone 6-8 but am looking for something with colour (glaze or slip...

Hi!
Those days I try some of those glazes. The first one works good but too
rough.


BALL CRAWL (^6-7)


Ball Crawl Cone 6 ( Cone 7 in sitter)
Magnesium Carbonate 50
Nepheline Syenite 50
Interesting lichen-like texture
====================From Don Goodrich. You can add any colorant.


The second ,for ^5 I worked at ^6
KOREN 22^5
==========
SODA FELDSPAR....... 60.00 51.28%
QUARTZ.............. 10.00 8.55%
WHITING............. 10.00 8.55%
MAGNESIUM CARBONATE. 26.00 22.22%
Lithium carbonate... 4.00 3.42%
TIN................. 7.00 5.98%
========
117.00
More delicate.
The third is combination of those two.
Koren 22Shino+ Ball Crawl
=========================
SODA FELDSPAR....... 30.00 25.64%
QUARTZ.............. 5.00 4.27%
WHITING............. 5.00 4.27%
MAGNESIUM CARBONATE. 40.50 34.62%
LITHIUM CARBONATE... 29.50 25.21%
TIN................. 7.00 5.98%
========
117.00

Good luck Ababi

Let me know exactly what temperature range you are
dealing with and what colors you would like to work
with, I can send you some glaze ideas to play with.
When all else fails, try to remember that volatiles
are what cause craters. So, if you add things like
Silicon Carbide in coarse or fine grains you can get
different degrees of bubble formations. Other
materials, cryolite for one, can cause violent
eruptions, but BEWARE, cryolite is a very strong flux
and will run very quickly.

Good luck, and feel free to contact me off the list if
you want more specifics.
