glass former

White Frit

A simple, thin window pane broke off from our glass-front kitchen cabinet. Crushed to mesh 160. It produces tiny bubbles in the overall glaze so best for external use.

Rhyolite

Said to be around 70% silica. We’ll see about that. Harvested respectfully at the “Barn”.

Southside Granite

This is foraged with approval at a local limestone quarry which harbors this granite as well. It can be fired by itself to cone 10 to make a glaze that looks pretty much like the rock.

Yellow Feldspar

Some kind of local rock which composition is unknown to me. But It makes my best Snow White glaze.

Green Frit

This is a vulgar green wine bottle crushed to mesh 160. Unfortunately, can’t remember which wine it held.

Red Granite

That one’s a cheater. Got it from the local tombstone maker as a scrap chunk. Apparently, it comes from India. So much for local materials… 😉

K-spar

That one’s a cheater. Got it from the local tombstone maker as a scrap chunk. Apparently, it comes from New Brunswick. So much for local materials…Â
