The Accidental Glaze Project
Posted 3 Dec 2012
The Accidental Glaze Project
Has this happened to you? Out of the kiln comes a new set of glaze tests. One of the tests is incredibly beautiful!! It’s a blood red at cone 6 or a green glaze with only cobalt as a colorant or maybe it’s just the best glaze you've seen.
You want to share it with the world! But realize:
- That was the test you tossed in 10 grams of…(oh gosh what was that) just to see what would happen.
- It’s the garbage glaze
- You know what’s in it then try to reproduce it and it doesn't work. It could be the firing cycle but you can’t be sure.
- You were sure you would remember that formulation
Enter “The Accidental Glaze Project”
Project goals:
To explore the role of serendipity in glaze formulation
To explore the results of glazes made by accident rather than design
Create a publication
Project Method:
Gather a very large number of accidental glazes. Through the efficiency of numbers reduce the cost of a full spectrum analysis from $100 to less than $15.
Project Funds:
Individuals who wish to have a glaze analyzed and who would like to participate in the project pay the reduced analysis fee. Project is also funded through volunteer efforts.
If you have a glaze you want analyzed or if you administrative or leadership skills and want to run portions of the project drop me a line.
Cheers.
