Seramiksir SP 1518 Dadya - Artistic Crystalline High-Fire Glaze (R24654)

SP 1518 Dadya - Artistic Crystalline High-Fire Glaze

SP 1518 Dadya is an artistic high-fire glaze that brings the mineral textures of ancient coastlines and the deep blue tones of the sea to glazed works. Intense blue crystalline flows develop over a light beige base, giving the surface a refreshing character, strong contrast, and natural depth. Supplied in a ready-to-use liquid form, the product can create unique crystalline transitions on every piece depending on the application thickness and firing conditions.

Color Pairing Suggestions

The ocean tones, crystalline flows, and natural beige base of Dadya glaze can be paired with the following colors:

Application Notes

• Product preparation: Mix the product thoroughly before application to distribute the crystal and pigment 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. Apply in even coats and allow each coat to dry completely.
• Application thickness: As the number of coats and glaze thickness increase, the blue crystalline flows and color intensity may become more pronounced. Excessively thick application may increase glaze movement.
• 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.
• Crystal development: Crystal density, size, and distribution across the surface may vary depending on the peak temperature, hold time, and cooling rate.
• Clay body selection: Blue crystals may appear brighter and more contrasting on white and light-colored high-fire clay bodies, while darker clay bodies may produce deeper, more mineral-like results.
• Vertical forms: Due to its crystalline and fluid character, a thinner 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.
