Feldspar Potash (Custer) is one of the primary feldspars used in ceramics. G200 EU is a 1:1 substitute for G200 in glaze recipes.
C$8.40
Gillespie Borate is a blended borate material designed for use in glazes to replace Gerstley Borate. It has been on the market for over 20 years.
C$13.95
Nepheline Syenite has been a used in the ceramic industry for many years, and is known for the whiteness it imparts to clay bodies and increasing low to mid cone glaze firing ranges.
C$10.40
Silica (Flint) 400 Mesh is a purified version of this much used material of glaze and claybody formulation. In clay and glazes, Flint provides the melting, or glassifying agents in a claybody that allow the material to fuse together.
C$14.25
Barnard Slip has historically been used by potters as a source of iron in dark firing glazes. Also referred to as Blackbird Slip, Banard Clay.
C$15.45
Silica (Flint) 200 Mesh is a purified version of this much used material of glaze and claybody formulation. In clay and glazes, Flint provides the melting, or glassifying agents in a claybody that allow the material to fuse together.
C$11.30
Wollastonite is a natural calcium silicate used to reduce shrinkage in clay bodies and glazes during firing. Can aid in the fast firing of clay bodies and can be employed to replace silica and whiting.
C$10.35
Hydrocal® White Gypsum Cement (Plaster) offers twice the compressive strength of other plasters. Stiffening rate very rapid after setting action begins.
C$60.00
Alumina Hydrate is a fine granular white powder that remains in suspension better in glaze slurries and has better adhesive qualities than Alumina Calcined. Used in glazes to increase hardness, aid stabilization and help resist crazing.
C$15.35
Spodumene (substitute) is a silicate mineral often referred to as lithium feldspar. Commonly used in ceramics as a source of lithia which is used as a powerful flux especially when used with potash and soda feldspars.
C$78.45
In ceramics, Manganese Granular is used primarily in clays and glazes to achieve fired speckle (including the brick industry). This is the same material as manganese dioxide powder, it is simply not ground to a fine powder.
C$11.20
Silica (Flint) Sand 75 Mesh is often used in clay bodies instead of grog. It also can be useful to reduce body firing shrinkage. Silica sand can be used to diminish friction on kiln shelves to enable ware to move while shrinking to prevent sticking.
C$15.45
This is a ceramic grade calcined Rutile, typically used when called for in glaze recipes. Rutile, a tan colourant containing a small amount of iron, is a natural source of titanium dioxide used in glazes.
C$23.65
Hydro-Stone® Gypsum Cement is especially suitable where high strength and resistance to water absorption are necessary. It is ideal for applications in both the tooling & prototyping and art & statuary categories.
C$50.00
Fabi Talc is both white in it’s raw state, and in it’s fired colour. Talc is an hydrated magnesium silicate, its crystals are thin and lamellar forming. Talc can be found in various grades, different by purity, colour and lamellarity.
C$17.15
Veegum, or VeeGum T (or VGT) is not a 'gum', rather it is a refined fine particle mineral called 'smectite'. In glazes VGT is used as an in-mix suspending agent and surface hardener. Also suitable for use as a spray-on surface hardener before decorating.
C$65.00
Cryolite is a powdered material derived from granite. It is a strong fluxing agent with a very low melting point. Cryolite is used in frits and glazes, and is a source of aluminum and insoluble sodium.
C$34.10
Alumina Calcined is an intermediate oxide used to stabilize fluxes and glass formers that compose glazes affecting mattness and brilliance. Adds strength and prevents devitrification.
C$14.50
Alberta Slip duplicates the firing properties of Albany Slip and is an excellent base for many types of glazes.
C$9.75
Feldspar Potash (Custer) is one of the primary feldspars used in ceramics. Mahavir has been found to be a good substitute for Custer, however, as with any raw material change in a recipe, please test first.
C$8.40
Ravenscrag Slip is a silty low iron clay, it applies evenly, drains drip-free, dries hard, does not settle. Mixed with water alone, makes a nice semi-matte cone 10 clear glaze.
C$6.80
Petalite, a lithium feldspar with a high silica content, is used both in glazes and clay bodies to help decrease thermal shock.
