Description
– Cone 6: Emerald provides a translucent green gloss colour. You will produce beautiful colour variations with Emerald without the glaze running off your ware during firing. Designed to provide a hint of colour with one coat, deeper colour with two to three coats – but remaining translucent.
– Cone 10: Colour changes to red in a heavy reduction.
– TIP: One coat allows more of the clay body characteristics to appear through the glaze, adding a faint colour gloss to the surface. Subsequent coats deepen the green colour but at three coats you will still obtain a translucent fired surface. Four+ coats will produce more opacity and less translucency.
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 deepen the colour. The choice of clay body, thickness of glaze application, firing process and temperature will affect the fired finish.
