Ishi-haze is a distinctive surface effect traditionally associated with Shigaraki ware. During firing, coarse feldspar and other mineral particles in the clay expand and burst through the surface, creating characteristic white specks and textured marks.
Long appreciated in the Japanese tea ceremony tradition, ishihaze enhances the natural beauty and rustic character of the clay.
Mix a small amount into your clay body to create this traditional Shigaraki-style effect.
