glaze "MATTE CRYSTAL"
This crystalline glaze is NOT USED BY ITSELF. Only in combination with other glazes to add more matte crystal effect on top of other high-fired glaze.
To achieve the effect pictured on green cups apply the 2 layers of 2 different glazes from listing LUMINESCENT PEARL” and then add the 3rd layer with matte crystal glaze in areas where you want the crystals. It does make glossy glaze turn matte due to crystal development (if you apply enough).
(watch example of application here: https://www.instagram.com/p/CuuB43lOERK/ )
The matte crystalline is not food-safe. It is lead-free and cadmium-free. I recommend to add this last layer only on the outside surfaces of functional ware (like pictured on my work here).)
We recommend application with brush to achieve varied surface effect.
Recommended for high-fired stoneware and porcelain.
!!! For best results we recommend firing range 1240-1260 C
Sold in powder form only.
Mixing guidelines: Add water proportionally 1:1 to begin with, after sieving adjust with little extra water as needed to achieve the desired thickness. Generally 500g (1.1 lb) of glaze makes about 800ml (27oz) of liquid glaze.
Add water, put through a sieve and good to go. YOU MUST MIX THE WHOLE dry mix into water (as we mix glaze by hand it is not uniform yet, if you take just half in water the ingredients will not be even!)
*WARNING!
Do not ingest.
Use gloves when mixing and applying product. Keep away from eyes. If product gets into eyes rinse thoroughly with water. Avoid dust and dry glaze build up from evaporation of solution. Wash with a wet cloth only and do not sweep or dust off. Ensure adequate ventilation during firing.
