A little bit of crackle


Wow, does time fly when you're not blogging. Here are some pieces I've completed as of late. The glaze is Laguna's Catalina Crackle and Tang Lime crackle. If your pieces lay flat, the glazes pool nicely and blend with the plumb glaze to soften the edges, which I like. If you put the crackle on a bowl, it runs like it's in a marathon! So my pottery mentor, Jack Jarvie, "tweeked" the Catalina Crackle for the bird. He used some feldspar (alkaline) so I was told. It did the trick and made the glaze behave itself at cone 5/6.
