Sand Dollar Mayco Stoneware Glaze
Description
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): Sand Dollar is a satin, opaque, cream-colored glaze with white and gold mottling. Breaks glossy transparent over texture.
1300°C (2nd image): Glaze shifts to a glossy, variegated lavender purple with white micro-crystallization. Breaks blue/grey over texture. Enhanced mobility.
Tip: This glaze is fluid at 3 coats. Anticipate glaze movement with receded application on vertical surfaces to prevent unwanted running.
Size: 473ml Brush on liquid glaze.
Health & Safety
Manufacturers Recommendations: Dinnerware Safe indicates the fired glaze surface meets the FDA standards for food safe, the fired surface is free of surface texture that could potentially trap bacterial, and the fired surface is chemically durable. Please note, dinnerware safety is not defined by cutlery scratches. Finished ware producers bear responsibility for dinnerware safe testing their ware being sold into commerce.
We at Bath Potters will quote the manufacturers recommendations, but if you intend to make ceramic dinnerware with selling in mind, then you would be best advised to get your wares tested.
