About Crystalline Glazes

Most ceramic glazes are applied to a piece either by brushing on or dipping into the glaze. The piece is then fired to a specific temperature, which can range from 1600-2300 degrees Fahrenheit. Crystalline glazes are different from any other type of glaze. During the firing process crystals are 'seeded' and grown on the vessel. To achieve the crystals the kiln is heated at varying rates to the maturing temperature and then cooled at varying rates and held at key points to encourage the growth crystals.
