Adding spodumene to this floating blue tones down the white patches

Tuesday 23rd July 2013

GA6-C (left) and GA6-E (right) at cone 6 oxidation. The E version adds 4% insight-live.com/material/1287">spodumene onto the 4% rutile in the C (the base is 80% Alberta Slip and 20% frit 3134). The spodumene eliminate the overly whitish areas that can appear. This glaze requires the "Slow Cool (Reactive Glazes)" firing schedule. It looks the best on dark bodies.
