Rose Quartz Mayco Stoneware

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.

1230°C (1st image): Rose quartz is a glossy, opaque, variegated pink glaze that breaks over texture. Pastel pink micro-crystallization may develop on vertical surfaces.

1300°C (2nd image): Glaze darkens and desaturates to a dusty rose with red and mauve variegation and white micro-crystallization. Breaks mauve grey over texture.

Tip:  This glaze is fluid; Apply receding coats to avoid run off on vertical pieces and practice caution in combination. Over-application of Rose Quartz can cause surface issues. Thin application results in vibrant pink; light pink variegation develops with additional application.  The micro-crystallization effect is enhanced in a rapidly cooling kiln.

Size: 473ml Brush on liquid glaze.
