Kyanite is a grog with low thermal expansion and when added to clay bodies can reduce stress from dry shrinkage.
C$23.10
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$22.00
Dolomite is a type of milled limestone that is a useful source of both calcium and magnesium in ceramic glazes.
C$10.90
Cornwall Stone is a low iron feldspar material used primarily as a flux in clay bodies and glazes. It is popular in engobes for its adhesive power during and after firing and in glazes for its low shrinkage and minimal contribution to defects.
C$19.70
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
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
Iron Chromate is used in glazes to produce gray (with feldspar), brown (with zinc), red (with tin) or black depending on the base glaze and percentage and other colouring oxides present. Often used in underglazes, engobes and clay bodies.
C$13.35
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
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$16.55
Borax Decahydrate is a water soluble, low temperature flux which lowers the fusion point of glazes and promotes a smooth melt. A source of sodium and boric oxide in glazes.
C$13.55
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
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
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$39.20
Kyanite is a grog with low thermal expansion and when added to clay bodies can reduce stress from dry shrinkage.
C$22.00
Granular Ilmenite is an iron titanium oxide mineral and can be used in small amounts to produce dark brown specks in clay bodies and certain specialized glazes.
C$9.40
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$15.95
Alberta Slip duplicates the firing properties of Albany Slip and is an excellent base for many types of glazes.
C$9.75
Macaloid is geologically and chemically similar to Bentonite. Used as a suspension agent in glazes, Macaloid can increase the drying rate of water suspended glazes.
C$18.75
Boric Acid is a water-soluble boron mineral. Boric Acid is used as a B2O3 source in the formulation of frits and glazes.
