Variegating effect of sprayed-on layer of titanium dioxide

Tuesday 8th June 2010

The base glaze (inside and out) is GA6-D insight-live.com/material/32">Alberta Slip glaze fired at cone 6 on a buff stoneware. However on the outside the dried glaze was over-sprayed with a very thin layer of titanium. The dramatic effect is a real testament to the variegating power of TiO2. An advantage of this technique is the source: Titanium dioxide. It is a more consistent source of TiO2 than the often-troublesome rutile.
