Mayco Stoneware White Opal Brush-on Glaze

Mayco’s SW-250 White Opal Brush-on forms a clear- to- milky white gloss surface. One coat produces the clearest finish; subsequent layering increases the incidence of a white precipitate forming. Prominent white to bluish-white colours will emerge where the glaze pools and gathers around surface texture cone 6 oxidation. Cone 10 white variation lessens leaving a transparent gloss with white pooling.

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.
