days ago 4 days ago 5 days ago 6 days ago 7 days ago 1 week ago 2 weeks ago view on instagram lindathepotter follow magnesium matt and calcium matt glazes are slightly different magnesium matt glazes are very silky waxy and viscous while calcium matt glazes are slightly drier can be more runny crystalline and sometimes melt to glossy where thick they can be affected by numerous variables including application thickness firing temperature and firing time and also by the proportions of flux clay and silica in the glaze magnesium matts in the first and second photos are those containing dolomite or talc which have more muted colours while calcium matts contain whiting wollastonite or wood ash are a better glaze base for chrome tin pink third photo matt is the english spelling and matte is the american spelling 14 hours ago view on instagram 1 9 lindathepotter follow experimental pink and green lava glazes these have two different lava glazes layered on the outside and chrome tin pink glazes on the inside i usually sell one off pieces like these at my annual open studios in mid june but this year after 20 years exhibiting i am having a year off so that i can visit the other artists artistsathome 1 day ago view on instagram 2 9 lindathepotter follow interesting variations of this calcium matt pink glaze using various different materials and kilns in london belgium and devon even in my own studio the last batch came out matt and the current batch came out glossy this is a calcium matt that s on the border between a glossy and matt glaze around 5 35 silica to alumina to push it back towards matt it only needs the addition of 5 kaolin calcium matt glazes have tiny crystals covering the surface if applied thickly they can melt to form glossy areas the pink colour comes from small amounts of chromium combined with tin oxide rutile or titanium dioxide known as chrome tin pink the glossy part of the glaze can be green coloured by the chromium oxide and the matt part is pink from the tiny crystals covering the surface this is a matt glaze containing whiting and dolomite rutile and tin oxide fired to cone 8 or 9 3 days ago view on instagram 3 9 lindathepotter follow some
