    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.
