The Crystal Glaze Saga (Part 1)
Ceramics. Stoneware. 2023 FALL
Glaze: NR Crystal glaze-Blank Slate (glazy) by Nick
Cone 6 Oxidation
I struggled a lot using this glaze. The swatches turned out so pretty but they wouldn't turn out well. I think I needed to adjust the firing schedule a bit more to match the one listed on Glazy. There was also the problem of the weird clay I was using leading to the brown streaks while firing. My first attempts used a regular schedule that led to little to no crystals forming.

It even led to the bottom of a really nice bowl I made exploding or something?

Then I used a different firing schedule (for crystal glazes specifically) and created this cup. The design was meant to emulate a cracked fermentation pot. The crystals turned out really well for this one! I would have preferred it if the clay was normal or porcelain but it has its own aesthetic.

I tried using this firing schedule with some other combination glazes but the glaze just mixed with the other glazes or something and vanished. The first rice bowl has an interesting cracked design in the closeup and vestigial blue streaks. But the cup proceeded to Houdini.

I hypothesize I didn't apply the glaze thickly enough or it just doesn't play well with other glazes. Nonetheless, I want to experiment with this glaze more in the future.
