Yvanox Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 I am trying to make a matte wash with oxide for low firing. I tried a GB wash but it became glossy when firing. Any ideas or recipes ? Just oxide with water ? Gum ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Bridge Pottery Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 How much GB did you use? What temperature is low fire? Pure oxide and water might work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neilestrick Posted April 19, 2017 Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 Gerstley or frit in too high a concentration is going to go glossy. But you need some to bind the oxide to the clay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnolia Mud Research Posted April 19, 2017 Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 Make a slip from the clay body the consistency of milk, add the oxide to the slip, add a pinch of borax if too dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
