The utilization of granite sawing dust as a substitute to feldspar in the formulation of ceramic
glazes is the central focus of this paper. The paper aims at determining the general character of the
glaze batch made from granite dust. Granite dust collected from quarry site was split into two equal
parts. Part A was calcined to 9000C, while part B was left in its natural state. Two glaze batches of
the same measurement were composed, one from the calcined granite and the other from the raw
granite. These were milled to 180 microns and applied on two separate sets of wares and fired to
between 11600-12000 c. Result showed that batch A made from calcined granite fused much earlier
at 11600 c than batch B. At 12000 c, the fusion was complete with batch A showing greater fluidity,
brilliance and improved surface appearance than batch B. This proved that calcined and fine grain
size of batch A improved the general character of the granite based glaze.
