Glazes can be glossy, matte or with effects, depending on the glaze you choose. The glazes are available ready-mixed as a brushing glaze and some are available in powder form (dry) as a dipping glaze. All our glazes melt at 1000°C (earthenware glazes) or 1210-1230°C (stoneware glazes). When fired at higher temperatures, some glazes may change colour. Colour and effects vary depending on the thickness applied, firing temperature, firing schedule and clay. The colour samples shown on the website are fired horizontally at 1000°C (earthenware) 1210°C (stoneware) on white clay with a curve of about 7-8 hours without holding. Decorations with decals and liquid gold are applied to glazed ceramics to be fired at 800°C.
