What is this "blizzard" of white spots? I don't think it's normal white
spotting.
It only happens on these four colors (glaze and colors detailed info below).
I first tested them on top of the raw glase in a mix of 1 part color, 1
part Ferro Frit 3124 and 1 part glycerine. Then I thought that they needed
more flux so I doubled it and saw no difference.
You can see the tile at http://users.skynet.be/russel.fouts/clayart.htm
Watch out, the picture is really big so you can see the detail.

I agree that it's not unpleasant. In fact I've got it on some work and it's
ok, just not what I'm looking for.
I'm pretty sure the discussion will happen on-line but I'll forward you
anything interesting that I receive privately.

Hi, Ru. I got rid of the blizzard by following a suggestion from Pete
Pinnell. He suggested soaking on the way up before the glaze melts. I soak
for 30 minutes at 1250 degrees F. That took care of the blizzard for me.
take care, Patricia Harden

Dear Clayarters,
Some time ago I was plagued by the blizzard. It would happen on some pots
and not on others. I was painting landscapes on my pots at the time and it
looked like it was snowing, acceptable, but really not wanted. I finally
deduced that it occurred because the pot was fired right after
glazing/decorating and felt that the moisture made the "boiling" underneath
come through the white glaze and the color on top. I do a majolica
technique on stoneware Cone 10. Does this make sense? Perhaps it could be
tested by the questioner. By letting the pot dry longer before firing, I no
longer had the problem.
Regards, Bonnie Staffel of Charlevoix, where the remodeling is progressing
on my new studio.
