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
"NEW SUPPLIER! Please Test Under your own conditions." When applied on greenware or bisque as a method of decoration, "resists" application of glaze, slip and underglaze.

Zinc Oxide (Calcined) is a useful, high temperature flux. It increases the maturing range of glazes and produces glossy colors (brightens copper and cobalt colours but may dull others). Higher amounts are used in zinc matte and zinc crystalline glazes.
C$13.20
Whiting is the most common source of calcium in glazes. It is a high temperature flux which gives durability and hardness to glazes. Whiting is the commonly-used name for Calcium Carbonate.
C$9.35
Tin Oxide is the most effective opacifier to produce even, opaque, glossy glazes. Traditionally used as a white glaze stain, glazes opacified with tin may flash pink in kiln atmospheres where chromium is present.
C$31.40
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
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
Magic Mender High Fire is designed to repair cracks and breaks on porcelain and stoneware clay pieces. Can be used on greenware or bisque and should be refired for repairs to become permanent.
C$14.25
Darvan 7 is a deflocculant and acts as a thinning agent in slips and as a general dispersing agent for slip clay bodies and glazes.
C$11.50
Nickel Oxide is a glaze additive/colorant that is more concentrated than nickel carbonate. This material is used in small percentages to produce mute colors in glazes.
C$47.70

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
Cobalt Oxide is a reliable, stable, black powdered oxide. In small amounts it produces consistently intense blue tones. Used as a glaze colorant and brushing oxide decoration.
C$77.15
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
Spectrum's 2000 Series Ceramic Stains can be used to colour glazes, underglazes, engobes, slips and clay bodies. Available in a beautiful pallet, these stains are great to work with and, for the most part, intermixable to create new shades.
C$10.75
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
Ferro Frit 3249 is a low expansion leadless magnesia borosilicate frit. This type of frit is the most effective way to reduce crazing in your glazes.
C$18.45
This Glaze Thinner by Spectrum is a solution of sodium hexametaphosphate in water. It is a very powerful thinning agent and should be added sparingly.
C$10.00
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
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.
