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$7.90
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$9.40
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
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
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$9.80
Alberta Slip duplicates the firing properties of Albany Slip and is an excellent base for many types of glazes.
C$9.30
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$74.00
Minspar 200 is a 200 mesh soda feldspar from Spruce Pine, NC. It is composed of crystalline minerals made up of mainly of alkaline silicates. Minspar 200 is used extensively in ceramics in both clay and glaze formulation.
C$7.80
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$18.90
Petalite, a lithium feldspar with a high silica content, is used both in glazes and clay bodies to help decrease thermal shock.
C$15.75
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$9.35
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$14.50
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$11.75
Dolomite is a type of milled limestone that is a useful source of both calcium and magnesium in ceramic glazes.
C$9.50
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$14.65
Soda Ash (Sodium Carbonate), a fine granular material, is an active flux and also serves an important function as a deflocculant used to thin slips and slurries. It increases strength and workability and reduces shrinkage.
C$11.25
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
Magnesium Sulphate, also known as Epsom Salts, is a flocculant and can be used to thicken a glaze to improve adhesion to non-porous surfaces. Also acts as a suspension agent in slip or glazes. Adding too much can have an adverse effect.
C$8.35
Gum CMC #7 Powder (Carboxy/Methyl Cellulose) is an organic cellulose gum which functions as a thickener, binder, and suspending agent in glazes.
C$35.75
Mulcoa Kaolin Grog 35 Mesh is a medium-grained calcined mullite grog. This grog can be added to throwing and sculpture clay bodies to increase working strength and reduce shrinkage as well as an aid in drying thick pieces.
C$19.50
Bone Ash (TriCalcium Phosphate) is source of calcium and phosphate traditionally used in bone china for translucency and lowering the maturing temperature.
C$13.55
Bentonite is a fine powder that is a grey-tan color. As typical for ceramic use, this is a sodium bentonite and is a common additive to both glaze and clay. Use in small percentages to aid clay body plasticity and glaze suspension.
