KI-11 Snow Drift

Description

KI -11 Snow Drift is a diffused, milky white glaze.

Category: Mid-High Fire Glaze

Firing Temperature: Cone 5 - Cone 6

Coats: 3-4 heavy coats

What are Kiln Ice Glazes? These glazes are modeled after Guan Ware - a type of

Chinese ceramics that was produced during the Southern Song dynasty.

How does the crackle happen? The crackle is caused by the expansion and

contraction of the glaze and clay body in relation to one another also known as the CTE,

Coefficient of thermal expansion. Glaze thickness can affect the size of the crackle, smaller and

tighter when thin, larger, and hexagonal when thick. With this glaze thicker is better.

Recommended Clays: Brown or buff clays that do not contain manganese work best with these glazes.

We recommend AMACO Milk Chocolate No. 30, AMACO Dark Chocolate No.32 and AMACO Buff Stoneware No. 46.

Application Tips: Apply Kiln Ice glazes thicker than traditional Amaco glazes, at least an 1/8 inch thick (3.175mm). Glaze

thickness is critical to achieve a nice crackle. Multiple brushed on layers is better than one thick one. When the glaze thickness starts

to get heavy it will take longer to dry in between coats, this is due to the gums that are added to make it brushable also slows the dry time

when glaze is thick.

Food Safe? Yes, but due to durability, these glazes are not recommended for food surfaces. Use a liner glaze for any food surfaces on functional wares.

    These glazes can be fired in a normal medium-speed firing with no special cooling schedule required. To take this glaze to the next level, use a controlled cooling scheduled for increased crystal growth

    Cone 5 = 1184 °C (at 150°C/hour for the final 100°C of firing) / 2201°F ( at 270°F/hour in the final 200°F of firing)

    Cone 6 = 1241°C (at 150°C/hour for the final 100°C of firing) / 2266°F ( at 270°F/hour in the final 200°F of firing)
