Himalayan Salt SW187

Stoneware crystal glazes are designed to expand upon the surface with dazzling bursts of color. Fired results will vary based on ware’s orientation. Crystals will settle to the bottom of the jar and will need a good mixing prior to initial use. Re-stir between each coat. Stir with palette knife or other unpainted tool. Avoid placing crystals near the bottom third of a vertical piece as they may cause additional movement during firing. Crystals will flow more than the base glaze. While the glaze is wet, use your fan brush to redistribute the crystals to achieve balanced coverage. Over-application or heavy deposition of the crystals can cause pinholing or running. When storing a crystal glaze, you may consider storing upside down to facilitate crystal dispersion on the next use.

Cone 6: Himalayan Salt is a soft matte glaze with light pink and burnt orange mottling that will pool a glossy clear.

Cone 10: Color changes to an opaque, variegated gray/white that breaks gray over texture and can pool a glossy purple/blue when thick.

Tip: This glaze can be very mobile; Recede coats to avoid run off on vertical pieces and practice caution in combination.

Note: Not recommended for dinnerware due to surface durability.
