Seramiksir S 1623 Batur - Artistic Low-Fire Glaze (R24682)

S 1623 Batur - Artistic Low-Fire Glaze

S 1623 Batur is a distinctive artistic glaze that brings the depth of volcanic craters to glazed surfaces through ember-colored reflections and dramatic transitions over a dark base. Its combination of metallic textures and fiery tones creates a powerful, mysterious, and layered appearance. The effect may become more intense around form details, recessed areas, and sections with thicker application.

Application Notes

• Brush application: The product is supplied ready to use at a consistency suitable for brush application. Applying 3 coats over white clay is recommended to achieve the characteristic appearance shown in the visual sample.
• Coat application: Allow the surface to dry between coats and apply each coat in a different direction to achieve more balanced coverage.
• Effect control: Small variations in the number of coats, application thickness, and firing temperature may affect the intensity of the metallic reflections and ember-colored transitions.
• Dipping and spraying: For these methods, a controlled amount of water may be added according to the required application consistency. Excessive dilution may reduce the glaze’s opacity and artistic effects.
• Clay body selection: White clay produces clearer metallic effects and warmer tones. Red, dark, or grogged clay bodies may produce darker and more rustic results.
• Vertical forms: Due to its artistic and dynamic character, thicker applications may cause the glaze to flow. Leave an unglazed safety margin at the base and apply carefully on vertical surfaces.
