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.

Abstract
SERAMİKTE DOĞAYA ÖYKÜNEN SIRLAR: KRATER SIRLARIN TARİHİ, GELİŞTİRİLMESİ VE RENKLENDİRİLMESİ
Öz
Seramik bünyelerin yüzeylerine uygulanan sırlar kimi zaman fonksiyonel fayda sağlarken kimi zaman da estetik katkı sağlamaktadır. Özellikle sanat seramiklerinde kullanılan sırların renk ve doku çeşitliliği seramik formları estetik olarak daha zengin ve daha ilgi çekici hale getirmektedir. Bu anlamda seramiğin teknolojisine hâkim sanatçılar kendi reçeteleriyle sırlar üreterek bunu sanat eserlerinde kişisel bir dil olarak kullanabilmektedir. Malzemenin sanatçıya tanıdığı bu kimlik yaratma olanağı zaman içerisinde organik ve inorganik katkı maddeleriyle sonsuz varyasyonda sır üretiminin yolunu açmıştır. İsmini dokusal görüntüsünün benzerliği sebebiyle yeryüzündeki doğal oluşumların sonucunda ortaya çıkan “krater” teriminden alan krater sırlar, inorganik bir madde olan silisyum karbür (SiC) katkısının sıra eklenmesi ile üretilebilmektedir. Sırda bir hata olarak kabul edilen kabarma etkisi yaratan silisyum karbür, uygun oranlarda reçetelendiğinde ortaya çıkan krater görüntüsüyle bir kusurun aynı zamanda estetik katkı da sağlayabileceğini göstermektedir. Bu makalede krater sırların tarihsel geçmişleri araştırılmış, parlak ve mat krater sırlar ele alınarak renklendirme alternatifleriyle deneysel uygulamalar gerçekleştirilmiştir.
Anahtar Kelimeler: Seramik, Sır, Krater, Lav, Silisyum Karbür.
