darkens, crystals soften. Large crystal shifts to opaque red. Light application
recommended.
TIP: SW-113
Speckled Plum is the base glaze. For a lighter crystal effect, apply 1 coat of
SW-191 Peppered Plum over 2 coats of SW-113 Speckled Plum.
Stoneware Crystal glazes are
designed to expand upon the surface with dazzling bursts of color. Fired
results will vary based on wareâs 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 pin-holing or running. When storing a crystal glaze, you may consider
storing upside down to facilitate crystal dispersion on the next use.
