NATURE EMULATING GLAZES IN CERAMICS: THE HISTORY OF CRATER GLAZES, DEVELOPING AND COLORING

Abstract

NATURE EMULATING GLAZES IN CERAMICS: THE HISTORY OF CRATER GLAZES, DEVELOPING AND COLORING Abstract Glazes applied to the surfaces of ceramic bodies sometimes provide functional benefits and sometimes make aesthetic contributions. Especially the colour and texture diversity of the glazes used in art ceramics makes ceramic forms aesthetically richer and more interesting. In this sense, artists who have mastered the technology of ceramics can produce glazes with their own recipes and use them as a personal language in their works of art. This possibility of creating an identity that the material gives to the artist has paved the way for the production of endless variations of glazes with organic and inorganic additives over time. Crater glazes, named after the term "crater" that emerges as a result of natural formations on the earth due to the similarity of its textural appearance, can be produced by adding silicon carbide (SiC), an inorganic substance, to the glaze. Silicon carbide, which creates a blistering effect, which is accepted as a defect in the glaze, shows that a defect can also make an aesthetic contribution with the crater image that appears when it is prescribed in appropriate proportions. In this article, the historical background of crater glazes is investigated, glossy and matte crater glazes are discussed and experimental applications are carried out with colouring alternatives. Keywords: Ceramics, Glaze, Crater, Lava, Silicon Carbide.
