Mayco Glazes

Cone 6 oxidation (see image): Abalone is formulated to produce a breaking white and mauve semi-gloss glaze. Light applications will produce a more white semi-gloss finish. Use three+ coats to achieve semi-gloss Abalone finish. Clay body characteristics will be visible through this glaze. Cone 10 reduction (see image): Color darkens to purple. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please note: 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. Size: 1 pint / 473ml

Cone 6 (see image): Alabaster is a semi-opaque white soft matte glaze that breaks over texture. Cone 10 (see image): Color darkens to variegated light gray/purple. TIP: When using this glaze, you will be able to pick up the characteristics of the clay body due to it’s white semi opaque finish. Combos really well with 2 coats of stroke and coat on top. It has a satin finish. If you like combos with Sea Salt, you will get similar results with Alabaster minus the crystals. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please note: 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.

Cone 6 oxidation (see photo): Amaryllis is a glossy, transparent, coral glaze with crystals in varying sizes that bloom into shades of brown, yellow, and orange. Cone 10 reduction (see photo): Glaze fades to a transparent pink. Crystals soften. Glaze remains stable. TIP: -SW-205 Coral is the base glaze. For a lighter crystal affect, apply 1 coat of SW-192 Amaryllis over 2 coats of SW-205 Coral. This glaze is stable, even with heavy application. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please note: Stoneware Crystal glazes are designed to expand upon the surface with dazzling bursts of color. Fired results will vary based on ware’s orientation. Crystals will settle to the bottom of the jar and will need a good mixing prior to initial use. Re-stir between each coat. Stir with palette knife or other unpainted tool. Avoid placing crystals near the bottom third of a vertical piece as they may cause additional movement during firing. Crystals will flow more than the base glaze. While the glaze is wet, use your fan brush to redistribute the crystals to achieve balanced coverage. Over-application or heavy deposition of the crystals can cause pinholing or running. When storing a crystal glaze, you may consider storing upside down to facilitate crystal dispersion on the next use. Size: 1 pint / 473ml

Cone 6 oxidation (larger image): Amber Quartz is a warm amber matte glaze that adds accents of tan and brown. The variation of the glaze is dependent on application.

Cone 6 oxidation (larger image): Black Mudcrack is a high-texture glaze that forms a raised, cracked surface. The thicker the application, the more textured the surface will be. Cone 10 reduction (smaller image): Texture flattens, color remains black. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please note: Mudcrack was developed to create a highly-texture raised and cracked surface. The thicker the application, the more textured the surface. Mudcrack can be directly applied to bisqueware or in combination with other mid-range glazes. For shown results, apply directly to bisqueware. Heavy application may cause unfired glaze to release from bisqueware. If glaze is thick in the jar, vigorous stirring and shaking will increase fluidity. The amount of texture and cracking that is produced with these glazes is directly a result of how thick the glaze is applied. A thinner application will result in a smoother surface with very fine cracks. A thicker application will result in larger cracks and more tactile texture.

TIP: Light applications on brown and buff bodies will produce a transparent green-blue gloss finish. Thinner application will provide a glossy transparent finish. Thicker application will provide light blue floating. Surface decoration will be visible under the glaze, but if you apply the glaze thick, it could blur your image. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please note: Stoneware classic glazes offer the depth, sophistication and reliability to artists working from mid-range to high-fire temperatures.
