Making a Raised Foot with a Gloopy Glaze
Показать описание
Making a floating soap dish with gloopy glaze feet.
A gloop glaze is essentially a glaze with extra silica and alumina, making it more viscous than a normal glaze but more able to melt than a clay. The result is a glaze that can be applied at ludicrous thicknesses and will behave like treacle at the peak of the firing and slowly gloop down before freezing in place.
I figured using it to make feet for something that needed elevation, but wouldn't be moved much, was the most practical possibility.
I applied alternating layers of colour (not that you can really tell) and suspended the whole thing above coloured clay fragments. This gave the glaze something to stick to, that looked more interesting than silica sand or kiln wash.
I'm really happy with how the feet worked. I think the overall piece could be done a lot better, but the concept worked exactly as I hoped.
The glaze is a gloop version of the FirstFive recipes:
Silica 30%
Neph Sye 20%
EPK 20%
3135 20%
Whiting 10%
