Cone 10 Ravenscrag Slip Glazes

Home

Ravenscrag by itself fires to an excellent cone 10 glaze, thus it makes a great base.

Test for leaching by placing your glaze sample in vinegar over night (or for a few days) to see if the color or surface has changed at all (if it leaches it may not be food safe depending on what materials are in the recipe). Also test for crazing by heating glaze samples to around 350F and then submerging them into room temperature water (do this 2 to 3 times).

Notes

Ravenscrag Slip is a revolutionary glaze material for stoneware. At cone 10R it can be used as 100% of the glaze mix and it produces a beautiful silky surface. Many classic cone 10 recipes can be made by simple additions. For example:

Celadon: Add 3-5% iron
Brown crystal: Add 6-8% iron
Tenmoku: Add 9-11% iron
Kaki: Add 11-13% iron
White: Add 4-10% Zircopax
Other colorants: the possibilities are endless.

Ravenscrag has great slurry and application properties, and you can put multiple layers of glaze on the ware.

The bowl samples show here have 100% Ravenscrag on the left, 10% whiting is added on the right.
