Dear Sam Cutell
Reticulate means to divide up into a network. So a reticulated glaze
is where a reaction takes place which causes the lay of glaze to
divide into lozenge or polygonal shapes then fuse down leaving a trace
of the original lines which divided the polygons from each other. It
is as though the glaze has crawled but has been sufficiently fluid and
has a low enough surface tension to allow it to flatten against the
clay. It could happen if one glaze is overlayed one another and then
shrunk causing hairline cracks. During fusion both glazes adhere to
each other but further shrinkage pulls the overlay in on itself
leaving a network of the underlaying glaze exposed. Or it can be
induced by applying a network of wax resist lines to the lower layer
of glaze then applying a contrasting glaze over the first layer. See
Greg Daly's book., p 107, or Peter Lane, "Studio Ceramics" p 45. (and
dust jacket) ISBN 0-00-411862-6.
That trick of sprinkling clay powder over a freshly thrown pot then
expanding the form from the inside without touching the exterior
surface to form a broken tessellated surface is also a form of
reticulation since the finished surface is interrupted with network
of lines.
So much knowledge out there if you seek it out.
Best regards,
Ivor Lewis.
