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.
Chips shown are fired flat on a white clay body fired to cone 6 oxidation and cone 10 reduction. The choice of clay body, the thickness of glaze application, the firing process, and temperature will affect the fired results.
Cone 6 oxidation : Northern Woods is a semi-transparent bluish-green glaze. Lighter applications will produce a light translucent green with brown hues. As
additional coats are applied the green hues will deepen and develop a bluish tint. Very nice on white stoneware and porcelain.
Cone 10 reduction : No Change
TIP: This glaze breaks brown and when applied thin the color will be brown. Apply three heavy coats to get the deep green color.
