Mayco Stoneware Gray Opal Brush-on Glaze

Mayco’s SW-255 Gray Opal Brush-on Glaze creates a transparent gloss finish. It deepens in colour from one coat to three, but surface decoration and design remain visible through the glaze even with three coats. The glaze will break and pool around surface textures, creating opportunities for the opalescent character to develop cone 6 oxidation. Cone 10 colour lightens; becomes more transparent.

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 deeper the colour. The choice of clay body, thickness of glaze application, firing process and temperature will affect the fired finish.
