The Fake Phase Glaze


I have been on the hunt to develop dependable phase separated glazes.  That being said, a tiny chemical change to a glaze can alter the glaze to make it unique from the parent glaze.  So if you want to change from a copper blue to a cobalt blue the wonderful phase can disappear and you get a nice boring blue.  Also any number of other faults can show up.

After six months of testing, looking for phase separation and finding lots of really nice glazes..  I have finally found the glazes I am going to add to my studio.

Pictured below are just a few of the tests I have been working on.  The base glaze formula I have is really working well with producing phase.
