WM - Wollast-O-Matte Fara Shimbo Crystalline Glaze

Modified: 2008-08-06 12:28:17

Matte textured crystalline glaze

Material	Amount	Percent
Custer Feldspar	24.00
Kona Feldspar	21.00
Zinc Oxide	18.00
Barium Carbonate	18.00
Wollastonite	7.00
Talc	5.00
Ferro Frit 3249	5.00
98.00

Notes

This is essentially a raw glaze which gives small crystals on a very tactile surface. It accepts most colorants easily (with the exception of nickel and chrome) but does not appear to work well with more than 3% of any carbonate or 2% of any oxide in tests I've run so far.

Mechanisms

Glaze Crystallization	This glaze produces acicular crystals on a matte surface with a lovely and very touchable texture which, when glaze is applied thickly, tends to sparkle.
