The most important glass former is &nbsp;silicon dioxide (SiO2, silica), which can be found in sand or quartz. Glass formers &nbsp;melt only at very high temperatures.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Fluxes<\/strong> lower the melting point. Fluxes include &nbsp;potassium oxide, sodium oxide, magnesium dioxide, lithium oxide and calcium oxide, which &nbsp;are found for example in feldspar, dolomite, talc or chalk. Lead &nbsp;used to be used as a flux but it&#8217;s no longer in use because it is highly toxic. &nbsp;Fluxes ensure that the glass formers melt at a lower temperature, ensuring they &nbsp; melt and flow more easily.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Stabilisers<\/strong> ensure that the glaze stabilises. They result in a good &nbsp;viscosity. In other words, stabilisers ensure that the flowing of the glaze stops at &nbsp;the right time. Think of poles that keep a &nbsp;tent upright. The most important stabiliser is aluminium. It can be found in &nbsp;different types of clay: ball clay, kaolin, bentonite.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"caret-color: #000000; color: #000000; font-style: normal;\">In principle, every recipe consists of these three elements. So if you&#8217;re making a transparent, neutral glaze, you only need the above oxides. When you&#8217;re making a coloured glaze, metal oxides such as copper and iron oxide are added. Nowadays, there&#8217;s also a wide array of colour pigments you can use to add colour to glazes. Most pottery shops sell ready-to-use glazes in all the colours of the rainbow.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"caret-color: #000000; color: #000000; font-style: normal;\">If you want to <strong>create your own glaze<\/strong>, you need to learn what glazes are, which ingredients can be harmful to your health and the environment, and which tools will make your attempt a success. Our online course <a href=\"https:\/\/cursist-home.maarevenonline.nl\/cursussen\/klei-glazuren-deel-2\/\">Understanding and creating glazes<\/a> is tailored to potter who want to make their own glazes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"caret-color: #000000; color: #000000; font-style: normal;\">Most ceramists start with <strong>a transparent base glaze<\/strong>. This base glaze has been thoroughly tested by experienced potters. So it won&#8217;t give you trouble if it ends up in cooler places in the kiln, it won&#8217;t recede, it won&#8217;t get blisters or tears, and it won&#8217;t easily crack or scratch. You can find all kinds of recipes to try out via <a href=\"https:\/\/glazy.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Glazy.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"caret-color: #000000; color: #000000; font-style: normal;\">You make this base glaze based on what you want to achieve with it. At what temperature will you fire your piece? Will the glaze be applied to earthenware, stoneware or porcelain? What shapes are you planning to make? Are they functional pieces or pieces that will come into contact with food? All of these answers will lead you to a specific recipe that contains specific ingredients.<\/p>\n<p style=\"caret-color: #000000; color: #000000; font-style: normal;\"><strong>You may have realised: making glazes is both an art and a science.
