Stoneware matte glazes range from solid shades to those that create interesting color variations as they move and break. Application thinkness is the key to making mattes work for you.
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 : Tea Dust is formulated to produce a rust, semi-gloss glaze mottled with golden flecks. Lighter coats will produce a semi-transparent rust color with little to non-visible gold flecks. Use three plus coats to produce a more prominent mottled effect with the glaze breaking over texture.
Cone 10 reduction : Color darkens.
