Triaxial Blending Chart Special Offer
🕑 Added 2020-02-03 07:30:55 +0000 UTCDear Glazy Patrons,
Since returning from my workshop at the Vienna University of Applied Arts, I have continued to improve Glazy while continuing my research, including a series of fun "gloop" glaze tests for oxidation cone six. These tests were made using biaxial blends. (Btw your donations help to pay for these test firings!)
Most of my testing makes use of blends. Blends are the easiest way to quickly create a large number of tests by mixing batches of only 2-4 "corner" recipes. My clay and gloop tests are blended by weight, while many of my glaze tests use volumetric blending. For National Clay Week I released a Volumetric Blending Tutorial that you can watch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3AbGCEYIiwY
Blending the correct amounts of each "corner" glaze can be confusing. So, years ago I created a simple reference chart that shows the correct amounts to blend for various types of line, triaxial, and biaxial tests.
Today I am releasing a newly revised version of this chart for triaxial blends. The chart shows blending amounts for various sizes of triaxials and is based on small sample sizes of 20-24 grams or milliliters (for weight or volumetric blending).
The poster is 20" x 16" (51cm x 41cm) and printed on thick and durable matte, museum-quality paper. It's a great addition to any glaze lab!

Sincerely,
Derek
