A377 Crackle Turquoise - Artistic Low-Fire Glaze

A377 Crackle Turquoise is a reactive artistic low-fire glaze that combines a vivid turquoise tone with a glossy, transparent crackle texture. Micro-cracks that develop during firing and cooling give the surface an antique, crystalline, and dimensional appearance. It creates a distinctive surface effect on both classic forms and modern decorative pieces.

Application Notes

• Brush application: For a clear turquoise color and pronounced crackle pattern, 2-5 coats are recommended. Allow the surface to dry completely between coats and apply each coat in a different direction.
• Crackle development: The crackle effect develops primarily during the cooling process after firing. Crackle density may vary depending on application thickness, clay body, and cooling rate.
• Enhancing the crackle: On decorative pieces, ink or a suitable contrasting color may be applied after firing to emphasize the crackle pattern.
• Consistency adjustment: For dipping or spraying applications, 10-15% water may be added depending on the desired consistency. Add water gradually and in a controlled manner.
• Clay body selection: The turquoise tone appears more vivid and transparent on white and light-colored low-fire clay bodies. Color and crackle contrast may vary on darker bodies.
• Preparation: Mix the glaze thoroughly before use to ensure even distribution of the pigments and crackle-forming components.
