SP 1391 Lepidolite - Artistic High-Fire Glaze

SP 1391 Lepidolite is an artistic high-fire glaze that develops reactive lilac, purple, and bronze reflections over a dark anthracite and midnight blue base. Its mica-like particles can create shifting color effects depending on the angle of light. Flat areas produce a dark and balanced appearance, while curved areas and sections where the glaze pools may develop more intense metallic effects.

Application Notes

• Base character: Dark anthracite and midnight blue tones may appear more pronounced on flat and evenly coated areas.
• Particle effect: Reactive particles across the surface may produce shifting lilac, purple, copper, and bronze reflections under different lighting conditions.
• Form effect: Metallic effects may become more intense on curved and vertical areas and in sections where the glaze pools.
• Thickness effect: The dark base may dominate in thinner applications. In thicker areas, gloss and reactive color transitions may become more pronounced.
• Cooling effect: The appearance of the mica-like particles may vary depending on the kiln cooling rate and firing schedule.
• Consistency adjustment: For pouring or dipping applications, water should be added gradually and in a controlled manner to avoid over-thinning the product.
• Clay body selection: The color and chemical composition of the high-fire clay body may affect the appearance of the dark base and lilac-bronze reflections.
• Care: Hand washing is recommended to preserve the gloss and metallic reflections.
• Safety: Gloves, an apron, and appropriate personal protective equipment should be used during application, and the work area should be adequately ventilated.
• Storage: Keep the container tightly closed and away from direct sunlight. If settling or thickening occurs, mix thoroughly before application and strain if necessary.
