After 6 months of searching and testing, my hunt for a transparent glaze is over. I had found a near perfect glaze about a couple of months ago. Well, when Andy Mason, the raku specialist, visited for the Messums Creative Raku Retreat I asked for his help. After a bit of tweaking and adjusting of the recipe, it works! (Thank you Andy) I’ve tweaked it a tiny bit more just to reduce the gloss. I like a shiny glaze but not too shiny. Anyway, here is the result. I made a slightly larger batch to test on an actual pot and I’m very happy. My next step is to make a 5kg batch of it for using on the pots, and to test it with a small amount of copper to create a green glaze. Copper is a dream to use and for me, it’s like the oxidation version of an iron celadon glaze.
