Here are some examples of pieces made with this enamel:
At the beginning of this research, the flowing aspect obtained was not the aspect we were looking for. But, as in many researches, one finds but not necessarily what one was looking for. Initially, I wanted to get a coarse crackle glaze that could resemble the one I had developed for raku. As below:
To try to find this aspect, my starting point was my raku recipe. A recipe for which I did not know the composition of certain components. It was difficult in this case to refer to the fusion diagrams. I decided to vary the proportions of the components of this recipe to try to reach a melting point corresponding to that of the stoneware. A similar effect was obtained but further experimentation will be necessary and will perhaps be the subject of a future article. During these tests, I also obtained a flowing glaze showing brown shades, in addition to the white, more or less marked depending on the thickness of the glaze layer (see the central test below).
The appearance of bubbles leads me to apply the same formulas but with doubled quantities, and here is the result:
My final choice is the central essay!
