I'd rather die than ask this question. It's such a tacky request but here =
goes.
What is in those Duncan River Rock glazes that make the speckles. I have a
request for a set of plates with that look (like phoney colored granite) and=
I'd
like to comply but the stuff costs =243.50 for 4 oz. Any guesses would be =
greatly
appreciated. I already have a good base glaze to work from just can't get =
the
dark brown and grayish speckles. Whatever the stuff is it looks like =
glitter
suspended in the glaze. becky

i was at a tom coleman workshop before the vegas ncecaand tom said that to
make those river rock effects to fire one glaze to about cone06. break this
glaze up with ahammer but not too small. then mix with another glaze the
prefired glaze won't mix well with the other glaze. haven't tried it but he
had some glazes like that. tom used them as deco on a white glaze and they
looked real similar to river rock.

Becky, for speckles try granular rutile, granular ilmenite, or iron
filings, They will not look like glitter, but will give you speckles. Mia
