Description

Classic Crackles are designed to craze or develop subtle surface cracks in the finished glaze to create a vintage or antiqued appeal.
Cone 06: Creates a transparent cracked surface and allows underlying designs to show through.
Stylish Elegance
Classic Crackles⢠add a level of sophistication and dimension to your designs. The âcrackedâ effect has traditionally been used to create a vintage or antique appeal. Increase complexity by using in combination with other glazes or design work.
Classic Crackles⢠are non-toxic, low fire (cone 06) glazes that are designed to "craze"; that is, develop subtle surface cracks in the finished glaze. This cracked effect has traditionally been used on home décor pieces by designers looking to create a vintage or antiqued appeal to their pottery.
General Use
Classic Crackles⢠are non-toxic, low fire glazes designed to create crackle patterns during the firing process. Perfect for home décor pieces. To highlight the cracks, after firing wipe an acrylic or ink over the ware and wipe off, allowing the ink to fill the cracks.
Application Recommendations
The following application recommendations are based upon the original product development intent and use for the product. Information on alternative application methods is listed in the section "Usage Variations and FAQ's".
- Shake well.
- We recommend a broad, soft brush, such as a CB-604 #4 Soft Fan Brush, to apply the glaze.
- Apply three coats to properly fired shelf cone 04 bisque.
- Fire to shelf cone 06.
- Cone 6: Color lightens. More defined crackle pattern - does not take ink/stain. Increased mobility.
TIP: After firing, wipe an acrylic or ink over the ware and wipe off, allowing the ink to fill and highlight the cracks.
