Instructions

Be careful mixing this glaze due to the caustic nature of wood ash. This glaze will require testing due to where you get your wood ash and volcanic ash from. However, I am really loving the results from the simplicity of theses natural materials in atmospheric firings. 

Mix with water into a cream-like consistency, then water it down to a thin application, similar to skim or almond milk. To help with settling, add a tablespoon or two of Epsom salts per batch of 10,000 grams. I dip pieces for 3 seconds and then clean up the foot rings to allow for wadding.
