Mark,
Don't know about that recipe...I do know that Magnesium Carb is pretty hard
to work with. It is really fluffy and takes some doing to get it into a
good mix in the wet glaze.
Another possible approach to getting crackle under your ash would be to work
with a slip that has a high shrinkage rate, so that it would do the cracking
and the ash could fill in around it all.
Just a thought...

Capt Mark - "50% Neph. Sy. & Mag. Carb. 50%" - I seem to remember
this was a Robert Sperry type "separating" slip that is applied over
a glaze fired surface, fired again, to get the broken white slip
surface. I think I did this at cone 6.

Capt Mark: this is a good cone 10 crackle slip. I use it on bisque. You
can watch it crackle in front of your eyes. If it hasn't crackled enough
pour some more on. I use it over a black slip for ART or under a shino for
a different kind of art.
sometimes i'm just a pottery ho. Is that spelt right chris c???????
cheers,

Funny you should ask. I was experimenting with the exact same thing last
week. I made a slip with 50-50 nephsy-mag. carb. I applied the slip with a
brush on bisqued stoneware. I got a nice crackle pattern when the slip
dried. I dipped it in a shino glaze and red. fired to cone 10.
The glaze ran (it normally does not) and dragged the slip with it, so i was
left with clumps of crackle slip and bare spots.
Same result with 40-60 nephsy-mag carb. The parts that i did not glaze
came out with the crackle slip looking nice though.
I don't know if I would have had better luck applying the slip on leather-
hard clay or maybe thinning it down a little bit.
Let me know if you find a recipe that works for you.
Good Luck!
Lalitha

Dear Capt. Mark,
I have added up to 50% Mag. Carb. to any glaze, to get it bawl and
crawl...as suggested from Ababi,
From 40% up, it balled a lot, crawled less. Do not know about the neph.
sye. part, and I fire only to cone 6.
This is like, no help!!?
regards from Alisa in Denmark
