Seramiksir SP 1515 Storm - Artistic High-Fire Glaze (R24651)

SP 1515 Storm - Artistic High-Fire Glaze

SP 1515 Storm is a reactive high-fire glaze that brings the gray-blue tones of stormy skies and the deep waves of the ocean to glazed surfaces. Cloud-like white patterns develop across the surface, while sand-colored transitions become more pronounced along the edges, giving each piece powerful movement, layered depth, and a distinctive artistic character.

Technical Data and Application

Color Pairing Suggestions

The mystical, powerful, and multilayered character of Storm glaze can be paired with the following colors:

Application Notes

• Product preparation: Mix the product thoroughly before application to distribute the pigments and cloud-effect-forming reactive components evenly throughout the liquid. Periodic remixing during application is recommended.
• Brush application: The product can be applied directly to a clean, dry bisque-fired surface. To enhance the characteristic storm effect, apply three even coats over a white clay body and allow each coat to dry completely.
• Application thickness: As the number of coats and glaze thickness increase, the cloud-like white patterns and gray-blue transitions may become more pronounced. Effects may appear weaker with very thin applications, while excessive glaze movement may occur with overly thick applications.
• Pouring and dipping: For these methods, the consistency can be adjusted by adding approximately 5-10% water. Add water gradually to preserve the glaze coverage.
• Reactive transitions: The reactive components may collect at different concentrations around edges, recessed areas, and raised details. This creates unique patterns and color transitions on every piece.
• Clay body selection: Storm-blue tones and white patterns may appear more pronounced on white and light-colored high-fire clay bodies, while darker clay bodies may produce a deeper, more mineral-like surface.
• Firing and cooling: The peak temperature, hold time, and cooling rate may alter the intensity of the cloud-like effects, sand-colored edge transitions, and overall glaze gloss.
• Vertical forms: Because the reactive glaze may move during firing, a thinner and more controlled application is recommended near the base. Keep the glaze away from areas where it may come into contact with the kiln shelf.
• Storage: Store the product in its tightly sealed original packaging at room temperature, away from direct sunlight.
• Safety: Appropriate protective equipment should be used during application, and the product should be stored out of reach of children.
