Instructions

Published in "Working Potter Glazes" in the June 2015 issue of Ceramics Monthly.

A low-fired satin clear base that holds colorants well.
* Add 1-2 % stain

Mix all ingredients together prior to adding the water. Add an Epsom salt solution to the wet glaze to help keep it suspended. Add the Epsom salts to boiling water until the solution is supersaturated. Add 1 tsp at a time until the glaze changes from thin and watery to light and fluffy, or the materials no longer settle out. Use 1 tsp for a 1000 gram batch and 3-4 tsp for a 5-gallon bucket.
