Steel Sea By The Sea Reactive Glaze
Description
Steel Sea is a cool blue-grey Milton Bridge Studio Line 'By the Sea' reactive stoneware glaze, designed to create moody coastal colour, glossy depth and naturally varied fired effects. This reactive stoneware glaze develops steel-blue tones with subtle movement in the kiln, giving pottery pieces a calm, weathered sea-inspired finish.
With its soft industrial coastal character, Steel Sea is ideal for potters looking for a versatile blue-grey glaze with natural variation. It works beautifully on mugs, bowls, vases, planters, dishes and textured stoneware, especially where edges, carved detail or throwing lines can catch the reactive finish.

Reactive glazes can vary depending on clay body, glaze thickness and kiln conditions. For best results, test first and avoid heavy application near the foot of the piece, especially on vertical forms.
Working Notes
For best results, apply evenly to bisque-fired ware and allow each coat to dry thoroughly before applying the next. Reactive glazes can behave differently depending on the surface texture, application thickness and kiln conditions, so testing is strongly recommended before using on larger batches or customer pieces.
Note: Reactive glaze results will vary from piece to piece. Colour movement, breaking, pooling and surface variation are part of the character of this glaze range. Always test first.
