Ceramic glaze…. how do I make it with minerals?
Hi I’m a senior at my high school, and I have to make a project that shows something I have taken from my High school career, so I want to glaze a ceramic piece I have made using diffrent minerals(pure rocks: talc, gypsum,dimaond, gold, olivine) I was wondering if any one had any glaze recipes made up of mostly organic materials.
I want to kind of create metamorphism in a kiln on my ceramic ware. please help if you can!
I am not sure what you want to do, you start out saying you want anorganic glazes then you switch to organic. Organic materials burn in a kiln, so they are not much used in glaze formulation and if they are used it is usually their mineral content which contributes to the glaze. But look into saggar firing, that’s where you use organic material to color your pieces. The results vary a lot but can be very attractive.
If you want anorganic glaze recipes just google that term and you will find plenty, an example below.
