I think so too, it was my first thought. Mica clay is sparkly like this, though the particles are much larger and will splinter in your fingers and i think it's fine mica
So you can mix mica powders into glaze? Do they shine through the glaze after firing what do they pretty much incorporate into the glaze? I’m new to pottery but have been doing resin and acrylic artwork for a long time. Thanks!
I think this glaze would be best if used as an embellishment and not the main focus of the piece. Say you flip the glazes you used on the plates, white celedon as the main color, and then squiggle the cosmic dust to bring boring white and make it dramatic. Or base a satin black glaze and drip cosmic in random areas.
I am both scared and wildly curious to see how it looks with your Oil Spot Red. Because I am so curious to see if it would break up all those sparkles in an interesting way.
Love your content😌 and I have a big question about pinging sounds of pottery. You know when you open the kiln after glaze firing and it is like a symphony? Yeah. Well, I am I interested when it is counted as a defect. Is it normal for ceramics to be making those sounds even after a week or longer? Is it cute sounds or is it a concern - that's my question. 🙋♀️ Thank you 😌🙌🏼
I’m thinking it would look best as an accent rather than all over the whole piece. It does give you exactly what it says. A little sparkle around the edge. I agree with you it’s crafty looking when used all over.
I like your glaze testing very much coz I also love mixing glazes to see effects. I recently tried PC36 and found it very interesting and magical in its effect when mixing with other Amaco glaze e.g. PC31 (my favourite) Could you please try PC60 and PC61 if there is chances?
Sparkly stuff might be mica...? Thanks for the demonstration. Way cool!!! Could the differences on all the red clay bodies have to do with the brushing it on the plates v pouring it over the vase?
Nice! How did you know I have this in my online cart at Blick? I have a TON of mica - I'm going to test adding mica to other glazes and see if I can get this effect.
Great review. Covered all the bases. Five stars. 👏. Something I’d like to see next... I’m so curious on how a dipped Amaco glaze (the kind that comes dry in a 5gal bucket) looks compared its same version of glaze but the one that comes ready to go in the 16 fl oz jar. I ask because I have a giant 5gal bucket of blue rutile and firebrick red but whenever I’m at the clay supply store they don’t look quite like the test tiles displayed.
I use it as an accent glaze on my galaxy glaze combo (it gives a star effect) but not as the main glaze. But I do like how how snow looks over it and I have a planter over here I'm going to do that. Thanks for the idea. :)
not a big fan of that glaze, I have tried it under and over the Celadon Obsidian to try to get a black black sparkle ....it always seems to have a brown look to it on a b clay body
100% disagree, babe. I love this so much. The sparkles are beautiful and it gives me so many ideas. But I have come to accept that you and I have a difference of aesthetic, and that's ok, lol.
I would like to learn more about crystal glazes. Are they only low fire or can you also get mid and high fire. You could even connect with Old Forge who has made them.
650 / 5000 This "glitter" effect usually happens due to RIO particles, usually in amounts of 15 to 20% ... there's this recipe on glazy: glazy.org/recipes/140152 I haven't been able to test this recipe yet, as I haven't yet been able to adapt it for my materials here in Brazil, but I've already tested this glazy.org/recipes/111916 (in cone 3) and one of the results was exactly the same as this glaze from Amaco that you showed. The problem with that recipe is that I got unstable results, and the liquid glaze crystallizes after the first preparation (you can only prepare the amount you will use on the same day). Well, I love that effect, so I'll keep testing :) And thanks for the great content, as always
Indeed, it is the iron in a Aventurine glaze. I read on Glazy (in the comments, don't remember the recipe) that the glitters that you see in Cosmic Tea Dust are just for cosmetic reasons, that they burn away (plastic glitter maybe?) and that the glitters in the fired glaze are iron crystals, not the glitters you saw in the liquid glaze.
@@____Ann____wow, about the plastic glitter, I would never think about it, I was really wondering what material it could be (mica?), but it makes sense ... at the same time WHY?! what leaves me a little in doubt, is the fact that the liquid glaze is gray. If it had RIO, it would have to be red, so maybe it's black iron oxide?
Yes, I think it os black iron oxide. Commercial glazes look more like the final result than 'homemade' glazes. I just use rio for an aventurine glaze. But customers could get confused with a red non sparkly glaze that shows a black glittery glaze. Easier too if you glaze with different glazes.
I did that thing with this bottle of glaze where you accidentally don't screw the lid on tight and pick it up to shake it... I VERY effectively glitter bombed myself. I still find glitter on my floors and it have been MONTHS. 🙈🤦♀️
The sparkles look a lot like mica powder. Mica is super sparkly and will survive through the firing process.
Pro tip: watch movies at flixzone. I've been using it for watching a lot of movies recently.
@Nickolas Connor definitely, been watching on flixzone for months myself :)

I’ve layered this with Aventurine on BMix and it was really spectacular. Less dollar store glitter-ish.

Glaze Reviews are BACK!! 😊YES!! Thank you!!
I love the cosmic dust glaze. Thanks for showing it on a couple of different clay bodies
Great video. Always grateful for your generosity in sharing things. Thank you.
Please hold while I think about Donte having a side hustle that involves him being an exotic dancer... :D

I would like to see this used as the rim glaze to see how the sparkles look in drips and runs

What happened to the Lumos rim dip?
“Why does it sparkle like this?” Super funny!

Ooooh! I love the sparkles!
I've used it on b-mix came out the same way. Verry sparkley
Cosmic tea dust is my wife’s favorite glaze. We have been layering it under a Galaxy glaze
I use it as an accent glaze on my galaxy glaze combo (it gives a star effect) but not as the main glaze. But I do like how how snow looks over it and I have a planter over here I'm going to do that. Thanks for the idea. :)
not a big fan of that glaze, I have tried it under and over the Celadon Obsidian to try to get a black black sparkle ....it always seems to have a brown look to it on a b clay body
When I put CTD over Cobalt it looks green instead of brown.
Hi, would you test underglaze?
Love this episode! Thanks!
I think it is beautiful on a limited basis. Is it food safe or only for the outside of a piece?
Amaco claims that it is a good safe glaze.
This was one of the first glazes I bought & I hated the results. I refer to it as unicorn $#!+
Is it smooth to touch?
Thank you so much. This kind of review are very usefull. Thank you once again
Just used it with blue rutile drip waiting now for results
yay glaze experiments! try speckled toad please!
Thanks for Sharing as always God Bless
Thanks!
This looks fab over other PC glazes as accents but complete coverage sort of loses the point. 😃
100% disagree, babe. I love this so much. The sparkles are beautiful and it gives me so many ideas. But I have come to accept that you and I have a difference of aesthetic, and that's ok, lol.
So many ideas for combinations with Sanbao gold decals. But with that thought I can feel our Dirty Potter spinning with disgust, lol.

Five stars ⭐️ to your videos!
Great now I want to rebel and put sparkles on everything
Only a Prestidigitation spell will rid you of that much glitter
The glitter will outlive you and your 4th grade teacher
I am not against a little bling lol. Thanks for the review
Great stuff, thanks 😊
Agreed not fond of the glitter but hey some people might like it.
love the video, thanks
Oooooooooh shiny things❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
Galaxies!!!
Glazing pottery? Is that what they're calling it these days?
Cosmic tea dust! For the glitzy functional ware!
Cosmic Tea Dust looks a bit like a Duncan Shimmer Glaze
Are remnant and reminiscent synonymous? 🤪
Yes.

@@agatatomaselli why? I think because it gives joy while glazing? You already see what the effect will be.

"Twilight The Glaze" XD
You just contaminated your Lumos with sparkles
Good video, not so good music
I did that thing with this bottle of glaze where you accidentally don't screw the lid on tight and pick it up to shake it... I VERY effectively glitter bombed myself. I still find glitter on my floors and it have been MONTHS. 🙈🤦♀️
Glitter is the herpes of the art world
