Seramiksir SP 1208 Winter Sun - Artistic Crystalline High-Fire Glaze (R24591)

SP 1208 Winter Sun - Artistic Crystalline High-Fire Glaze

SP 1208 Winter Sun is a reactive crystalline high-fire glaze that combines ice-blue and mist-grey tones with warm mustard and golden crystal formations on high-fire clay surfaces. Depending on application thickness, clay body, and firing conditions, it may produce variable crystal clusters, dynamic color transitions, and artistic effects with visual depth.

Technical Data and Application

Color Pairing Suggestions

The icy tones and warm crystalline character of SP 1208 Winter Sun glaze can be paired with the following colors:

Application Notes

• Product preparation: Mix the product thoroughly before application to distribute the reactive crystal-forming components evenly.
• Surface preparation: The bisque surface must be clean, dry, and free from dust before application.
• Brush application: Applying 3 coats over white bisque is recommended for a rich, layered surface close to the sample appearance. Allow the surface to dry completely between coats and apply each coat in a different direction.
• Dipping and spraying: Depending on the required application consistency, 5-10% water may be added. Add water gradually and in a controlled manner.
• Crystal development: The size and distribution of the mustard and golden crystals may vary depending on application thickness, peak temperature, and cooling rate.
• Application thickness: Larger, denser crystal clusters may develop in thicker applications. Excessively thick application may increase the risk of glaze flow.
• Flow: The glaze may move at high firing temperatures. Apply more thinly near the base, especially on vertical forms.
• Clay body selection: Ice-blue tones and golden crystals appear clearer over white high-fire clay bodies. Speckled clay bodies may produce more rustic and dynamic results.
• Firing effect: Kiln atmosphere, peak temperature, hold time, and cooling schedule may directly affect the appearance of the crystalline surface.
• Storage: Store the product at room temperature with the lid tightly closed and away from direct sunlight.
