AVPottery Posted June 6, 2016 Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 I found a picture of a pot that had an amber glaze and the caption says that it had brushed dolomite on it. This caused the glaze to swirl where the dolomite was applied. Has anyone ever tried this? I assume that dolomite is a flux of sorts. I like how it cause some discoloration and cased the glaze to run a bit. I would like to find some ways to make the milky, swirly look that some glaze applications look when mixed with other glazes.

High Bridge Pottery Posted June 6, 2016 Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 Never tried it but I like the idea. Do you have a link to the picture or is it not online? Dolomite is a mixture of calcium oxide and magnesium oxide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High Bridge Pottery Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 I think that glaze is probably quite dolomite heavy, hard to guess a recipe though. Could work on your rutile blue or any glaze with that sort of surface. Rutile could work instead of dolomite to give something similar. More clear glossy glazes will probably suck up the dolomite with little change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
