Mayco Stoneware Glaze SW217 Micro Cerulean 473ml
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 colours and shades.
Used alone, stoneware glazes produce beautiful colour variations. One coat will allow the clay body to show through the glaze and two to three coats deeper the colour. The choice of clay body, thickness of glaze application, firing process and temperature will affect the fired finish.
Firing Range: Cone 5-10
Swatch Firing Results:
- Cone 6 oxidation – Micro Cerulean is a glossy, translucent, medium blue glaze with an aqua float that breaks over texture. Blooms of shimmering blue micro-crystallization will develop during the firing process.
- Cone 10 reduction – Glaze turns to a variegated grey/blue.
Food Safety: CL Certified. Due to the durability of the fired surface, Micro glazes can not be used on surfaces inteded to be eaten off. However, Micro glazes may still be used to coat the exterior surfaces of dinnerware, mugs or bowls etc.
Please check the new Mayco 2024 Stoneware Release Flyer or individual product packaging for specific food safety labelling.
