Cone 6 oxidation (first image):: Riptide is a satin-matte, opaque, variegated turquoise/green glaze that breaks over texture and develops a glossy finish where thick or pooling.

Cone 10 education (second image): Glaze shifts grey with white/turquoise variegation. Glaze remains stable.

TIP: This glaze is generally stable. Additional coats or increased application thickness may result in movement. Thin application results in finely variegated color. Variegation is exaggerated with application thickness. We recommend firing our matte glazes to cone 6 to produce a satin matte finish.

Stoneware matte glazes range from solid shades to those that create interesting color variations as they move and break. Application thinkness is the key to making mattes work for you.

Stoneware classic glazes offer the depth, sophistication and reliability to artists working from mid-range to high-fire temperatures. Opals are beautiful glazes for dinnerware due to its glossy, smooth finish. This glaze is great on texture and will break over high texture and pool into.

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.

Chips shown are fired flat on a white clay body fired to cone 6 oxidation and cone 10 reduction. The choice of clay body, the thickness of glaze application, the firing process, and temperature will affect the fired results.
