Galaxy Glaze Powder — Gold Crystal Glaze (Thickness-Sensitive)
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
Professional Tip — Viscosity Matters
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.
Recommended Firing Range
1250–1260°C (≈ 2282–2300°F)
For both porcelain and stoneware.
Sold in Powder Form Only
Mixing Guidelines
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.
Application Notes
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.
WARNING — Safety Information
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.
