Dunstan Topp Posted December 7, 2019 Report Share Posted December 7, 2019 Recently tried to make this glaze (snowflake #4) but it turned out very weird and matte and almost chalky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hulk Posted December 8, 2019 Report Share Posted December 8, 2019 Hi Dunstan, From John Britt's 14-OCT-19 article "Crazy Beautiful Crazing: Uncovering the Mysteries of Snowflake Crackle Glazes" and/or "Snowflake Crackle" 16-OCT-17; both excerpted from NOV-11 Ceramics Monthly magazine article. Any details you could share? e.g. thickness of application, over what clay(s), fired to what cone/temp, notes on cooling, materials? Could you post pictures? Did/does the glaze stay well mixed; did you add Epsom salt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did/does the glaze stay well mixed; did you add Epsom salt? I recall one of our artists at the studio using Britts snowflake crackle. It performed as represented but needed to be crazy thick. Even to the point of bisquing the first glaze layer so you could add another layer over it just make it super thick. No special cooling that a I recall, Just that crazy thickness thing. Nice results though at cone six. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
