  • Pantone just released its color of the year, Classic Blue.

Looking for a certain color of glaze?  Just use the Glazy color picker when searching!

Here's a search for Classic Blue:  https://glazy.org/search?photo=true&base_type=460&hex_color=0f4c81 (link in bio)

  • In this dystopian timeline everything is up for sale, even control of the .org domain used by non-profits around the world.

  • This unfired Si:Al biaxial glaze test shows how proportions of glaze materials can affect drying.  Dry-cracking progressively worsens from bottom to top as Kaolin content increases. 
Assuming the glaze doesn't completely flake off, for a testing purposes it should be ok.  But if I wanted to actually use one of the glazes from the top rows, I'd probably replace all but 10-15% of the Kaolin with calcined Kaolin, using the Glazy Calculator to appropriately adjust the recipe to maintian the same chemistry.

  • This is a very exciting time.  As awesome people like you add recipes, tests and photos to Glazy, people like @pieter_mostert_ceramics will be able to apply machine learning algorithms to create predictive models of how glazes behave, deepening our understanding of ceramic chemistry.

Using public Glazy data, Pieter Mostert has just released a machine learning model that attempts to predict whether a glaze will be glossy or matte:

Each of these silica-alumina charts shows predicted glaze surface type at a specific flux ratio and firing temperature.

Data snapshots of public data in Glazy are available on Github:
