SW-170 Blue Hydrangea Stoneware Pint
Cone 6: Blue Hydrangea is a blue floral-inspired glaze that contains yellow and white crystals. As the crystals melt, large white blooms and smaller yellow blooms appear in the glaze.
Cone 10: Color changes to blue. Crystals fade slightly.
One of the most distinctive traits of Mayco’s Stoneware is that the glazes provide consistent performance and intriguing visual interest. They are best known for being receptive and favourable to the user during both application and firing. Mayco Stoneware glazes are friendly to the user in application, layering and firing. Many glazes will break over textures, revealing secondary colours and shades. The choice of clay body, thickness of glaze application, firing process and temperature will affect the fired results.
Stoneware Classic & Matte Glazes: Stir well. Apply to soft-fired bisque (cone 04/06). Apply one, two or three coats depending on the result desired. Allow each coat to dry before applying the next coat. Fire from cone 5/6-10. See label for additional firing information for individual glazes and cone 10 performance.
Stoneware Crystal Glazes: Crystal glazes are designed to expand upon the surface with dazzling bursts of color. Crystals will settle to the bottom of the jar and will need thorough mixing prior to initial use and in between each coat. Apply two to three coats using a fan or hake brush. While the glaze is wet, use your brush to redistribute crystals to achieve balanced coverage. Over application of the crystals can cause pinholing or running. Avoid placing crystals near the bottom third of a vertical piece as they may cause additional movement during firing. See label for additional firing information for individual glazes and cone 10 performance.
Stoneware Gloss Glazes: Stoneware Gloss glazes can be used in design, all over coverage and are the ideal product for intermixability at mid-range temperatures. The integrity of your design will remain unchanged as these glazes are incredibly stable and will not move or combine with surrounding colors. See label for additional firing information for individual glazes and cone 10 performance.
Amazing colour. Doesnt run
such a beautiful mix of colours that comes through.
This is a stunning glaze. I have used it many times myself and with my students, firing it at Cone 5 or 6, with excellent results. The base is sometimes violet and other times a blue-violet, more vibrant than the examples provided here. It is quite stable and I have not had any issues with crazing. The mugs and bowls I use it on are always some of my best sellers. I highly recommend it!
