Tips for making custom tile, Using VCT tile to cut patterns and do layouts.© TJA 2017

Babs: I stumbled upon a little secret years ago while doing crystalline glazes. There are two rare earth oxides; if added in the proper portions causes other oxides to separate. in lieu of their usual blending. -
by the way- the glaze is not uneven on the pot: just has that appearance. The neck is the only uneven glazed area.
-
Brushing, not spraying. The base glaze is blended well, sieved. Then I come back and add oxides and some other elements that causes the oxides to separate. The variegation is chemically induced.. in easy terms.

From the album: Clay Tests
Variegation was also being tested on this piece. This is also a single application, with additional glaze loaded on the neck. At the base of the neck, I had applied a chemical barrier to prevent the glaze from running any further than I had marked. The copper broke to the blue side, and likewise cream colors broke through as well (in a single application). The more remarkable result: this glaze has a Si/AL ratio of 9.25; which should have produced a very high gloss. I add 2% of an optically negative element, which resulted in a nearly matte glaze.© TJA 2016

I think it is weird science day. I have had these ideas for oddity glazes rolling around in my head for a month now. Good day to test them.

Babs; could you PM these links to me please. Keep getting error messages.

google david Snair crystalline glazes, I saw some of hiw work in an old Cermaic arts monthly mag, just a couple of beautiful pots.

White earthenware 'shell' bowl

Celia: must say you have a very artful eye. I like the idea that you used articular lines to further define a round bowl. Excellent work, executed very well. Nerd -
Have fun did we? -

Perhaps one of the most detailed pieces I have seen in some time. -
Interesting the directions you can go, with just the smallest of change. Even the clay body changes the outcome. The reason I looked at your forms: large enough profile changes to change flow. -
I like the design and the carving. I am trying to place "her" however. I have seen her before sometime in history- perhaps 17-18th century Europe. Not sure. Nerd -
I am working on a cinnamon, breaking black. and after that a red in oxidation (no stains) -
I have not updated since last year!

I heard about bigger crystals in 17-you heard it here 1st
-
Is that a challenge?
Is 2017; crystal smack-down year?

Good to see you back at it. -
Perfecto!! -
I use a 0.25 CF primarily: it holds 2 of these test tiles. I also use a 1.75CF Paragon that has 6500 watts. I use that for multiple tests, small pieces, and small batches of crystalline liner tiles. The 1.75 is my favorite, it has 3800 watts per CF: twice that of ordinary kilns. -
Much nicer finish- uniform in clarity and sheen. No pinholes, no craters: looks like your over the hump. Great piece. -
Cut the mag. carb to 0.30%,. After I saw the forms you were making, had to share one of my private glaze recipes. Turned out very well, Go very easy on the cobalt carb...just a pinch. -
Some talc, some dolomite , perhaps a pinch of cobalt carb to make it break purple? Interesting indeed. Enough lithium to make it flow; but not too much.
-
From the album: Crystalline Glaze / Tile
Using slip for texture and color disbursement. Spooned on and allowed to run off. After drying, a combination of a soft metal rib and sponge to rub off excess, and create textures. Slip had 0.25% cobalt carb added. Color is from nickel carb, magnesium carb, and Yellow Iron.© TJA 2016

Callie: I thought Mark put this up: apologies. Dazed and confused I am. -
Mark: I can see the color orientations you are after. The color used to make/highlight the flowers is off: does not follow the overall theme. This color needs to follow what you have inside the cup: do not be afraid of a dark/deep. burgundy. The bottom ( yellow) would flow better with the silver/white color I am seeing around the flowers (highlights). The deep color of the handle and interior is more than enough intense color. So balance the piece with some coordinating pastels. Nerd
