Instructions

This is a flexible glaze with a wide range for temperature—matte when fired cooler, shiny when fired hot, and likes to form cooling crystals. Add more iron oxide for a duller blue, or reduce iron or exclude for a brighter lighter blue. This should be applied medium thick on bisqueware only. It is lovely when fired in a wood kiln with salt.
