One of the most beautiful and rewarding glazes in the studio — Galaxy is known for its breathtaking depth, shimmering tones, and the appearance of tiny gold crystalline formations when applied at just the right thickness.

This glaze contains Lithium Carbonate, which contributes to its extraordinary effects.
It is highly thickness-sensitive, shifting dramatically depending on application:
• Thinner areas → yellow matte
• Correct thickness → deep, luminous glaze with gold crystals
• Stoneware bodies → forest-green tones with darker crystalline highlights
• Porcelain → brighter, cleaner colour and more defined crystals
For consistent results, we strongly recommend measuring viscosity / specific gravity.
My best results are at SG 1.45 (145).
Record your measurements to maintain consistency across batches.
1240–1280°C (Cone 7–9, ≈2265–2336°F)
For the look seen in my work, I recommend firing to 1260°C (Cone 8, ≈ 2300°F).
For both porcelain and stoneware.
Begin with 1:1 water-to-powder ratio.
Sieve thoroughly.
Add small amounts of extra water to reach target viscosity or preferred thickness.
Important:
You MUST mix the entire dry bag at once.
Since the glaze is hand-blended, taking only part of the powder will result in uneven ingredient distribution and inconsistent results.
Yield reference:
500 g (≈ 1.1 lb) dry glaze → approx. 800 ml (≈ 27 fl oz) liquid glaze.
Galaxy glaze is best applied as an even, medium-thick coat.
Ideal methods:
• dipping
• brushing
• pouring
• spraying
Testing is essential, as results vary by:
• clay body
• firing schedule
• glaze thickness
• kiln atmosphere
When the recipe, thickness, and temperature align, this glaze produces truly spectacular surfaces.
Contains Lithium Carbonate. Handle with care.
• Do not ingest.
• Wear gloves when mixing or applying.
• Avoid glaze dust — never sweep dry powder.
• Clean with a wet cloth only.
• Keep away from eyes; if contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
• Ensure good ventilation during firing.
