Description

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, thickness of glaze application, firing process and temperature will affect the fired finish.

Preferably applied with a soft fan brush on the 04 bisque. Burn to between cone 5 and cone 6 (1200°C - 1230°C). Many colors perform very well even at higher temperatures see pictures, tested before application on production. 473 ml. Ready-mixed.

NOTE: Due to varying results, Mayco has conducted extensive testing on SW-219. This product has a wide range of variations. The clay body, application, firing process, and temperature affect the firing result. They recommend testing Cone 5 (1222°C/2232°F) without hold time in a lightly packed kiln on a white stoneware clay with texture. If you cannot test and/or accept varying results, they advise against using this glaze. If you are not satisfied with the result, you can combine this glaze with other Mayco glazes.

Information

Cone 6 oxidation (larger image): Opal Lustre is a glossy, semi-opaque glaze that displays variegated shades of blues, greens, and purples. Breaks warm brown over texture.

Cone 10 reduction (smaller image): Color flattens, and warm undertones come through.

TIP: This glaze is semi-fluid at 3 coats. Additional coats or increased application thickness may result in movement. Can be used in oxidation or reduction firings. Results may vary. The choice of clay body, thickness of application, firing process, and temperature will greatly affect the fired results. Always test your application on your clay body in your kiln environment.
