This opaque white matte glaze verges on being grayish blue . It breaks black on ridges, and is great to accentuate texture and facets .

Its sensitive to thickness and temperature: completely matte when fired at cone 9, and has a more satin finish at cone 10, with a light crackle surface . Thickness gives a whiter look and tends to go black if applied too thin . I use a thick mixture, brush it on, and fire it in the hot spots of my electric kiln at cone 910 .

I discovered this glaze in the book, Oriental Glazes, by Michael Bailey . It is recommend-ed for once-firing, but Ive always used it on bisqued pieces .

This glaze is a bit shinier than HAA2 . It can be fired over a broader temperature range, but it can be a bit runny if fired over cone 10 . It breaks brown on edges and gives better results when thin . I use it for dipping in a thin mixture but, with care, it can be also brushed on .

The interaction with the impurities found in the clay I collect gives a rough finish .

When I want a white satin glaze, I use a combination of the HAA2 and Oatmeal White glazes in different coats, which results in a deep and interesting surface . This glaze is also useful when refiring with HAA2, to lower the melting temperature .
