PRICE LIST

Extremely reliable, cost-effective stain based Earthenware Glazes.
All are glossy glazes other than EG57 and EG58 Matt White and Matt Reactive Black
Very easy to mix and prepare (though we recommend sieving).
Available as powder and in the standard and larger brush-on size pots
Seriously worth trying a selection of these glazes as significantly cheaper than other makes and we feel they have a better firing range, more forgiving and stronger colour range.
Firing Range : 1040oC to 1120oC (apart from EG48, EG57, EG58 1020-1080oC)
PLEASE SEE MIXING INFORMATION AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE
The pictures are of our actual test tiles

Given sufficient notice we can make these glaze colours for mid-temp 1120- 1160oC and for stoneware 1200-1260oC firing ranges. (Not 47, 57, 58)

VAT to be added on to all Glaze Prices

Glaze Mixing

We recommend sieving the powder before mixing to break it up, adding back any speckles for speckled glazes; we recommend using a powered hand mixer (drill with paddle spiral mixer or hand held blender for smaller lots) then sieve to ensure no agglomerated dry powder remains, and then rest it for two hours to allow any air to be absorbed and not create bubbles, pin holes when fired. For some glazes it is best to soak the powder with a little water first.

Dipping: Mix S/ware to double cream or slightly thinner to match the porosity of the bisque. Mix E/ware to single cream. Typical dipping recipe is E/ware 750/790gm liquid to 1000gm powder; S/ware 690/700gm liquid to 1000gm powder. Recommended liquid is 85% water to 15% medium or 2% SCMC cellulose solution. If you have problems keeping in suspension add 2% bentonite to the dry powder next time. This is a starting point - you may need to add more liquid to get the consistency you like.

Brush On: Typical brush on recipe is 100gm powder to 40gm water and 50gm medium or 90gm of 2% SCMC Cellulose solution. For some dense glazes you may have to put in as much as 105gm of liquid.

If you have already mixed a quantity of glaze and it is falling out of suspension then you can use calcium chloride as a flocculent, particularly in E/ware glazes. Dissolve one flake in a small amount of hot water and then add to slop one drop at a time.

Tips:

Wipe away the salts formed during bisque firing - these can block pores preventing glazes from gripping but also reboil during glaze firing causing peeling and pinholes.

Fast bisque firing can trap gasses which the expand during glaze firing bloating, warping and splitting pieces as well as trying to escape peeling off underglazes, crawling glazes and leaving behind pinholes.
