Pale Blue Crystal-Effect Ceramic Glaze with Deep Blue Blooms
Wispy Blue Cromartie Crystals Glaze creates a light fired surface where white and pale blue areas are broken by stronger blue crystal blooms and scattered deep-blue accents. The soft colour palette suits decorative pottery where you want noticeable crystal variation without the darker or warmer colour combinations found in some other crystal-effect glazes.
Choose Wispy Blue when you want a cool, airy multitone effect rather than a uniform blue finish. The crystals move and spread during firing, so glaze application, crystal placement, firing temperature, clay body and whether the ceramic surface is flat, angled or shaped can all influence the final balance and distribution of colour.
- Use the fired colour chip as a guide to the overall palette rather than exact crystal placement.
- Consider crystal distribution when planning where stronger blue areas may develop.
- Test on your chosen clay body and ceramic form when a repeatable colour balance is important.
