Bulk Dry Raku Glaze with an Organic Metallic Effect
Alligator Raku Glaze produces a broken metallic surface combining silvery grey, muted green and darker areas, giving Raku-fired ceramics a weathered, organic appearance. Its irregular mottling can add depth to sculptural forms, textured vessels and relief designs where surface changes form part of the decoration.
Choose the 25kg dry-powder pack for repeated studio mixing or larger glaze requirements while retaining control over the consistency used for the selected application method. Record mix adjustments and test the glaze thickness before production work because the reduction process can create substantial variation from one firing to another.
- Mix thoroughly before making small consistency adjustments
- Record batch ratios and application thickness when comparing firings
- Use test pieces to assess the metallic response before larger runs
