Stoneware Glazes 1180°C - 1300°C: Page 12

Magma was developed to create a rough, cratered surface. The thicker the application, the more textured the surface will be. Magma can be directly applied to bisqueware or in combination with other mid-range glazes. The amount of dimension and cratering created with these glazes is directly a result of how thick the glaze is applied. A thinner application will produce a less dimensional surface with...

Stoneware matte glazes range from solid shades to those that create interesting color variations as they move and break. Application thinkness is the key to making mattes work for you. 1300°C (2nd image): Riptide is a satin-matte, opaque, variegated turquoise/green glaze that breaks over texture and develops a glossy finish where thick or pooling. 1300°C (2nd image): Glaze shifts grey...

Stoneware classic glazes offer the depth, sophistication and reliability to artists working from mid-range to high-fire temperatures. Many glazes will break over textures, revealing secondary colors and shades. Used alone, stoneware glazes produce beautiful color variations. One coat will allow the clay body to show through the glaze and two to three coats deeper the color. The choice of clay body,...

Stoneware matte glazes range from solid shades to those that create interesting color variations as they move and break. Application thinkness is the key to making mattes work for you. 1230°C (1st image): Alabaster is a semi-opaque white soft matte glaze that breaks over texture. 1300°C (2nd image): Color darkens to variegated light gray/purple. Tip: When using this glaze, you will...

Stoneware crystal glazes are designed to expand upon the surface with dazzling bursts of color. Fired results will vary based on ware’s orientation. Crystals will settle to the bottom of the jar and will need a good mixing prior to initial use. Re-stir between each coat. Stir with palette knife or other unpainted tool. Avoid placing crystals near the bottom third of a vertical piece as they may...

Stoneware matte glazes range from solid shades to those that create interesting color variations as they move and break. Application thinkness is the key to making mattes work for you. 1230°C (1st image): Storm Gray is designed to produce a medium gray to white variegation depending on application. One coat will produce a medium gray matte finish with little white variegation. Subsequent coats...

Stoneware matte glazes range from solid shades to those that create interesting color variations as they move and break. Application thinkness is the key to making mattes work for you. 1230°C (1st image): Black Matte is formulated to produce a smooth matte surface. Light coats will allow clay body characteristics to appear through the glaze (especially on dark and speckled clay bodies). 1300°C...

Stoneware matte glazes range from solid shades to those that create interesting color variations as they move and break. Application thinkness is the key to making mattes work for you. 1230°C (1st image): Lilac Matte is a semi-opaque matte lilac glaze. The glaze will break over surface textures: the more pronounced the surface texture, the more the glaze will pool around these textures. The...

Flux is a flowing glaze developed for use with other stoneware glazes to enhance the movement, promote reactions and interesting effects. Apply 2-3 coats of Flux under or over another mid-range glaze to bring about “hidden colors”. Flux can be brushed in layers, glaze trailed, plopped with a brush, and blotted with a sponge. The thicker the application, the more mobility there will be. 1230°C...
