Crackle glaze

The beauty of a crackle glaze is to create that old look with the cracks. After the piece has set for a few days, coat the entire piece with a dark translucent stain and let dry. Then wipe off with a mineral spirit soaked rag. Only the cracks will hold the colour, accenting your piece and making it look antique, this can also be accomplished with ink.
