- Understanding Glaze Basics - Glazy
Glaze is essentially a specialized glass formula engineered to melt and fuse onto clay at certain temperatures It makes ceramic ware waterproof, more durable, and visually appealing Without glaze, many ceramic pieces would be prone to leakage, staining, or rapid wear
- Glazy Ceramic Glaze and Pottery Recipes
I recommend testing a clear glaze base that uses zinc and boron as flux, and see if that does anything better than a glaze base without those fluxes I have recently had really spectacular results with a c10 chun glaze and cerium oxide (in reduction)
- Introduction to Glaze Calculation - Glazy Ceramics Wiki
The purpose of glaze calculation is to determine the total amount of each element present in a glaze, and the proportions relative to each other With that information at hand, it is possible to calculate materials substitutions, revise melting points, and do other useful calculations
- Major Oxides in Glazes - Glazy
When you mix a glaze, you’re combining several powdered materials, each of which contributes certain oxides to the final melt These oxides determine how easily the glaze melts, how fluid or matte it becomes, and how it ultimately looks and behaves on your fired pieces

- Common Glaze Defects - Glazy
Here’s a test with a fixed glaze and variable body showing how the composition of the body can affect glaze fit The glaze is Pinnell Blue Celadon (a fairly low-expansion glaze that does not usually craze on porcelain bodies), while the porcelain is a typical high-fire body with Red Iron Oxide (RIO) successively added in 1% increments
- Glaze Safety and Health Warning - Glazy
The best way to avoid issues of glaze toxicity and leaching is to use a “liner” glaze A liner glaze is a clear or white glaze applied to all areas of food contact (for example the inside lip of bowls, cups, and plates)
