Creating Your Own Cone 6 "Colorburst" Glaze with Sintered Crushed Glaze!

Sintering is a process of heating glazes to the point that they coalesce and lose their chemical water so they are not able to dissolve in water. I sintered glaze chips and applied within a glaze and fired to cone 6 for a fun effect. Below are some of the recommendations I have for best results.

In this video, I started with dry chips of two different glazes- Coyote Really Red and Cobalt
I crushed the chips into smaller pieces and placed them on a bisque plate
I then fired the chips to cone 020 to sinter them
I mixed the sintered chips into a contrast base glaze
Whereas my glazes are fairly stable, I highly recommend trying sintered chips of various glazes- maybe celadons or other glazes that might have some interesting effects.
I didn’t apply the chips to the outside of the plate, to be on the safe side should something want to fall off onto the kiln shelf.

In this video, I am using Standard 225, a nice midrange firing tan stoneware.

I am a public high school ceramics teacher at William Mason High School in Mason, Ohio. (Mason is currently the largest high school in Ohio!) As a potter, I have been working in clay for over 30 years, and I have been teaching for over 32 years, the past 22 have been specifically teaching high school ceramics. I love what I do! I have my own studio in my home basement, where I work on my personal pottery for my Etsy site; https://www.etsy.com/shop/KaransPotsAndGlass

I started my Youtube channel a few years ago, to make videos to help my students if they are absent and miss a demo, or if they would like to explore more advanced techniques independently, especially with my semester ending “Pick A Passion” projects- see link here: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLj0pNzEmvM_rvYtsF3kqw3fVh1QeEJ7kV
I have been amazed to reach such a wider audience than my own students!
