Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 сер 2022
- this video shows how I make big, beautiful crackles in slab clay with a throwing technique.
What you'll need:
-Thick slab of clay in one colour
-Clay slip or underglaze in a contrasting colour.
-Sodium Silicate
-Two clean brushes (more if you want to do various underglaze colours)
-Heatgun, blow torch or hairdryer (I use a hairdryer in this video)
-Board or surface you can comfortably throw onto.

Thank you so much! Just what I've been looking for!
I was under the impression that the SS should go under the slip, but now I see it can be used either way.😊

Sodium silicate,,,,water glass
I use it on concrete for a densifier an water proofer....
I do a lot of moulds atm ,,an I spray concrete with a sugar an water mix
Wait til the next day,,,gently hose it off
An expose all the fancy stones,,
The effect you have on the clay looks great to...
Good on ya mate

Hi! Thank you for sharing this was so useful. I have made a bowl from a slip with sodium silicate and now i wonder if i should clean it off the bottom like i would with glaze? Like should i avoid sodium silicate on my kiln shelves?:)
I would :)
Hi Karen. Great video thanks. Is it the sodium silicate that makes the crackle?
Yes that's correct. It dries out the surface and then the clay needs to be stretched
