Nepheline Syenite       60
Magnesium               22
EPK                     18
This recipe is very similar to the original; I just replaced
the ball clay with kaolin.  This seemed
to make the glaze adhere more smoothly to the tile, and also gave it a
pearlescent sheen.  The high amount of
magnesium in this glaze is what causes the crawling effect.  It needs to be applied thickly in order to
get a good amount of crawl – I applied it about 1/8 inch thick.  It can give interesting results layered over
slips and glazes, as long as the base glaze is fairly dry.
