Hallo ClayArters.
Suddenly, in that glaze i have used for at least 3 years, it turned up small
chips, like 10 millimeters
springs. I maked two buckets of glaze, one neutral and one with 1,5 =25
cobaltoxide, from the same base, and the =22alien=22 was there in both =
glazes. The
glaze was=60nt in use for four days and perhaps some part has crystallized. =
-I
have never seen it before, anyone else seen it?
The glaze contains:
Ferro frit 3110
kaolin
Silica
Zinc.ox
Barium. Carb
Gerstl.Borate
Whiting

I have fired it and the =22alians=22 become white spots in the glaze.

Take Care
