Joyce Lee says I should post the data I sent her. So, here it is.
Remember, though, this info is a small amount of Crystalline Glaze data
already in circulation.
BFN. Peace. Tom B.

Subject: Re: crystalline glazes
Joyce, desert dweller:
yes, most crystallines will run, and require a catcher pot if one
coats the full surface of the pot. use less glaze and you may avoid the
grinding etc. FYI, I sent this to an Ozzie potter last year:
Brian C:
Here are the reference data I suggested.
1) Ceramics Monthly, March 1992, Crystalline Glazes: a precise method, by
Bevan Norkin. For my money the best technical piece on this topic.
2) Crystalline Glazes, Ceramics Technical Issue No. 3, 1996. By Peter
Deck, of Tasmania. He gives a rundown on his experiences, and has a list
of references.
3) Crystalline Glaze Text by Dan Turnidge, PO Box 4146, Salem Oregon, USA
97302. He gives a step by step procedure on how he does crystalline glaze,
and supplies a goodly number of recipes, and "tricks". (New update:
Unfortunately, Mr Turnidge died unexpectedly in 1999. Don't know if anyone
has his data, and can supply same. In a pinch, I can copy my copy and
snail to you).
4) The Crystal Maze, Ceramic Review #137, 1992, Derek Clarkson,
a good solid review article.
5) Crystalline Glazes. Mimi Dann. Ceramic Review #128 1991. Again
one successful potter's view of this technique.
6) The Oxidation Glazes of Hildegard Storr-Britz, Jan 1975 Ceramic
Monthly. More about micro-crystalline glazes at various cones.

I suggest Joyce that you keep crystallines on hold until you research it
well; this is a tricky glaze to master. Although I know one local lady to
whom I supplied the articles, and she came up with good results....but she
is a well experienced potter/teacher and has explored most glaze types.
be well. peace. Tom.
