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 : Macadamia is a creamy vanilla matte glaze that adds accents of gold. We recommend firing our matte glazes to cone 6 to produce a satin matte finish.
Cone 10 reduction : Color changes to a variegated gray/cream. Glossy blue becomes more prominent.
Tip: The variation of the glaze is dependent on application; Thicker application will result in a more homogenous color. The glaze will break over texture and can pool a glossy blue.
