RE:dry crackle

RE:dry crackle

Hi Remington,

Here are the Dry Crackle / Matt White Crackle glazes that I have. They have not been tested (by me).

Matt White Crackle Raku
Raku

Gerstley Borate - 80
Nepheline Syenite - 20
Bone Ash - 18


Stiff White Crackle
Cone 9

Custer Feldspar - 80
Whiting - 10
Silica - 10


White Crackle Slip
Cone 9

Ball Clay - 15
Calcined Kaolin - 20
EPK - 15
Silica - 20
Custer Feldspar - 20
Borax - 5
Zircopax - 5

Hope these help. You can also try underfiring any white glaze to get a matt finish. You can also take any matt glaze and give it a good thermal shock (remove it from the kiln early) to crackle the glaze.

Good luck.

The picture almost looks like a white crackle slip over a brown slip.

Interesting.

RE:dry crackle

When I want a dry look I just underfire the glaze.
