Cone 6 oxidation (larger image): Black Timber is a satin, opaque, mottled brown glaze that breaks over texture. Contains glossy brown crystals. Base color is stable, crystals can create movement.
Cone 10 reduction (smaller image): Color becomes darker metallic, crystals flow more. Light application recommended.
Tips:
- Upon opening, crystals will be concentrated in the bottom of the bottle. Stir/shake thoroughly to incorporate before each use.
- Crystals can create movement. Avoid having a heavy concentration of crystals near the bottom of your piece.
- When storing a crystal glaze, you may consider storing upside down to make crystal more accessible.
- Can be used in oxidation or reduction firings. Results may vary.
- The choice of clay body, thickness of glaze application, firing process and temperature will affect the fired results. Always test in your kiln, on your clay body
