Chris Campbell Posted April 2, 2016 Report Share Posted April 2, 2016 I wanted to share this site with all crackle glaze lovers .... http://rupertandrewspottery.com/ My understanding is he does a third glaze firing to fill in those crackle lines with color. Really lovely results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glazenerd Posted April 2, 2016 Report Share Posted April 2, 2016 Cool stuff Chris. I know many crystalline glazers who use this technique: or variations thereof. Actually looks to me as intentional glaze/clay interface checking (crackle). Then he is coming back and rubbing metal oxides in and refiring to 1350-1475. Look closely at the crackle areas: I see copper, manganese, iron, etc. Although, his process is off the charts-- exciting. Nerd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Girts Posted April 2, 2016 Report Share Posted April 2, 2016 Wow! Aren't they beautiful. And he's about an hour away from us ... I feel a visit coming on ... Girts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babs Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 Not what I was expecting! Clever but I prefer the quiet really spaced crackle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GiselleNo5 Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 I love crackle when I wanted crackle. Not so much on food surfaces. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiselleNo5 Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 Oh, wow, his work is lovely. Reminds me of mosaics and stained glass all at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Girts Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 Stained glass! That's it! It has the same intensity and glow! Well spotted Giselle5. (Whatever happened to Giselle4? Or 3? Or 2? Is there a mass de-giseller on the loose?) Sorry - I digress. Girts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayaldridge Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 Lovely work, though I am a bit dubious about the claim that he invented the technique. Potters have been emphasizing crackle using oxides for a very long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldlady Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 this is intentional crackle where the artist wants it. if he found a way to do that more power to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Campbell Posted April 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2016 Lovely work, though I am a bit dubious about the claim that he invented the technique. Potters have been emphasizing crackle using oxides for a very long time. Got to agree with Ray here ... No potter should ever claim to have "invented" any technique until they walk through a lot of ancient pottery displays ... Real or in books ... You see everybody's work ...only made about 3,000 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldlady Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 agreed, chris. (cannot belive that two authors claim to have written the ceramic "bible") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
