What is Flux?

The Science of Connection

In a glaze, flux is what gets silica to melt at a temperature a kiln can actually reach. Silica on its own melts at around 3,110°F. Add flux, and the mix melts at roughly 2,200 to 2,370°F, turning powdered rock into a glassy, durable surface.

That's what we want to be for the Castro: a catalyst for people to connect and make relationships that last.
