Hello Everyone! The new Karax Blonde tiles are up at Watertown. The reason they've been replaced is to reflect the new viscosity of the glaze. The recipe is the same, and the differences are small, but there! I'm including a photo of the lone Karax tiles to help some of y'all understand why we made the change. The top tile is the new one. You can see it's slightly warmer, has a little been more color variation, and is actually showcasing the differences you can get on different clay bodies. The original was just too overpowering and solid for the desired intention, and looked the same across all clays (save for the breaking over edges). If you'd still like to use Karax as an opaque creamy glaze, I'd recommend at least two long dips (6-8 seconds each). I hope you guys continue to show this glaze some love. Functionally speaking, it's better than it ever was, and it's doing some beautiful stuff on the new tiles. If there's any questions about it, please don't hesitate to shoot me a message or write a comment below.
