Just me again. I'm still looking for any kind of texture glazes,
but am trying to fire in the 6 - 10 range. I would gladly try cone. I am
trying Richard Burkett's Orange Peel and doing line blends with a cone 6-10
that is really textured, however it had barium in it and I'm just now
testing the strontium substitution. Also doing some Shino Orange crawler and
orange peel line blends.
I realize that one of the schools asked several months ago for
textured glazes to try but I've forgotten which one. Please contact me via
E mail or can someone direct me to them.
I am checking the clayart files, and have little luck sometimes getting
into the SDU files but once in a while it is no problem.
So if you have any suggestions just e-mail me directly. I read and
print out lots of Clayart suggestions which I pass on to people in our
studio. It's the most helpful resource.
Thanks you for your patience.

I searched the archives for this one, but to no avail.
I have become very interested in glazes with texture: lichen, crawls,
ones that look like the desert floor, ones that look like lizard
skins, birch bark...you get the picture.
My question is this: how, for the most part, are these glazes used?
I know they usually go on over slips and underglazes, but can you use
them over glazes too? Do they run?
Also, If anyone is willing to share some recipes, I would be most
grateful.

An easy lichen recipe is from Carlton Ball: 50% Neph Sye, 50% Magnesium
Carbonate. Colorants can be added. I saw a nice effect where someone had
fired the piece with a crawl glaze and then put a transparent glaze on top
and refired -- creating a nice texture underneath, but with a smooth shiny
surface. You'll have to experiment with the thickness of the Ball Crawl
glaze. If the "crawls" or patches of glaze are too large and too thick,
they have a tendency to pop off. A combination of large and small crawls
looks nice and can be achieved by layering the crawl glaze, creating
different thickness layers. I did a series of tests with washes (1 tsp.
gerstley borate and 1 tsp colorant) rubbed on textured bisque with the Crawl
glaze on top. Nice results. Great for outsides of vessels, planters, etc.
Barnard Clay mixed with the G.B. gives a beautiful warm brown and also
caused the Crawl glaze to flux slightly -- no pop offs. Good luck and keep
us posted on your results. Barbara

Hi!,
I also would love to know about these glazes.....If someone shares
with you ,,,,,,I would also be most great full......if you would
share with me!!!!!!!!!!!!Thanks Ellen from Indiana
I would be glad to help what little I know if I get a glaze, I think
you may like.....Have you tried expanding your pots??????????I do
Know how to do that using gold art or ball clay......it looks like a
dried out desert.......I will be trying it for the first time
tomorrow night....wish me luck.............Ellen again

Hi Lois,
Check out Lana Wilson's book "Ceramics: Shape and Surface".
She's the "queen" of licheny and interesting glazes -- does a lot of double
firings. Wonderful stuff.

Thanks for the info. I'm not familiar with Carlton Ball. Is it ok to
substitute another ball clay?
Also, I forgot to mention I fire cone 6 ox. Will this work?
Lastly, does anyone know if there are any books written on the subject
of textured glazes (and/or special effects)? I haven't been able to
locate any info.
I am grateful to be pointed in the right direction.

Lois:
The Italian tile makers use a fluid glaze underneith a stoney matt to
produce the effect you are looking for. You can also use a slip which has
raw zinc in it to cause crawling and cracking in the bisque fire. Try using
a glaze with high clay so it shrinks more in the early stages of firing
but be prepared to have glaze on the shelf. Texture is rarely acheived
with one glaze but a combination unless you are firing a very low
temperatures 08 or so.

Vince Pitelka reminded me that I had forgotten the firing temperature of the
Ball Crawl glaze. I fire it to ^ 10, but like other crawl glazes it may
fire at ^6 as well. Barbara

This may not be new to many of you, but I've gotten some surprise textured
glazes (1) by having a glaze crawl, deciding to throw on another glaze
instead of dumping it, and ending up with a neat 2-color smooth surface,
and (2) by not liking a glaze, reglazing with the same stuff, and having
the top layer not 'catch' well so it in effect crawled. This also ended up
smooth, and I liked it. Nice to win a few! Lesley in Santa Barbara.
Ray Carlton on tue 9 feb 99
if you really want to push it.....pull up a cylinder out of 8 or 10 pounds
of clay [a lot more if you can] make it aound 1.5 to 2" thick and roughly
brush on some slip and apply some heavy combing ....then blow torch the
soft clay ..when it has gone a little dry on the surface expand from the
inside [dont touch the outside] expect great effects...it takes a little
getting used to but some fine pots can be made this way ...add bits onto
the finished pot as it will be quite stiff eg throw a neck on top add
lugs..push it pull it do everything..... etc etc etc

Do you know if you can raku using the textured powder (cracked look
or what ever its called....) Ellen

Lois,
A great book for textured glazes and special effects glaze is called "The
Potter's Complete Book of Clay and Glazes" by James Chappell (revised
edition). I has hundreds of receipies. Have fun trying them!

I have two grad students here at USC that would like to test all and any =
textured, crusty, crawling glazes that you all can offer them to test. =
They are interested in 04 and cone 6 oxidation primarily.
Thanks for any receipes that you can send my way to give to them.

Dear Virginia:
Yes, I have several recipes for crawling, cratering,
beading and generally textured glazes. I too have recently become interested
in these types of glazes. The recipes I have are not my own, however. There
is a whole chapter in the Chapel book "The Potters Complete Book of Clay and
Glazes" under special effects glazes. If you don't have this book or access
to it please e-mail me and I will send you all the recipes. Good luck hope to
hear from you.
Sincerely;
Cindy Gatto
